BLUE MAX, THE

Lead Vocals, Guitar: Chris Mortimer

Vocals, Bass: Paul Tonner

Drums: Pete Burnham

Chris Mortimer was back in good health after his shave with death at the end of Music Hath Charm and was now heading up this new rock three piece. Pete Burnham’s parents kept The Yeoman public house on Salhouse Road in Norwich and was relatively new to the gigging world. The band had trouble acquiring a bass player but finally found Paul Tonner a migrant from Kent. Chris takes up the story. "The band used to rehearse at the Orford Cellar but only managed a handful of gigs before Paul decided East Anglia wasn’t the place for him. We changed name to Luftwaffe near the end but i'm really not sure if we played a live gig under that name. We split and I took a little more time out and then joined Mister Toad in the early 70’s."
