The ELLINGTONS

BIOGRAPHY:

The Ellingtons were a jazz / funk influenced act, formed in 1986 by John Anderson (drums, ex-Gritt), Graeme Gillson (bass), Stephen Myles (guitar), Alex Paterson (vocals) & Alan Stewart (guitar, ex-Dutch). After playing a few dates towards the end of that year, Gillson left in April 1987, turning up in The Palmers a few years later. Anderson later formed The Fugitive Kind, whilst Myles, Paterson & Stewart continued in a more jangly indie guitar style as Funhouse.
