FLASH

They've got guts, they are musicians with the chops and they've got enough insight into the mechanics of music-making to be able to offer more in the way of intelligent, innovative musicianship than nine-tenths of their contemporaries. Gordon Fletcher - ROLLING STONE

Colin Carter - vocals
Peter Banks - guitar/vocals
Ray Bennett - bass/vocals
Mike Hough - drums

Flash was formed in London in 1971 when ex-Peter Bardens Camel singer Colin Carter met ex-Yes guitarist Peter Banks and soon after co-wrote the Flash hit, “Small beginnings”. Ray Bennett, who had known Banks since early Yes days, heard they were forming a band via his old friend, bandmate and Yes drummer, Bill Bruford, and was quickly recruited on bass. Flash drummer, Mike Hough was found later after an advertisement was placed in the London weekly music paper, The Melody Maker. Tony Kaye, then the first ex-Yes keyboard player, was a session player on the first album “FLASH” and not a permanent member of the band, as is so often reported.

• The single “Small Beginnings” from debut album, “FLASH”, reached 28 on Billboard. The song can be found on CD hit compilations from the era and is still widely available. Other Flash ‘radio hits’ were “Children Of The Universe”and “Lifetime”.

• Flash toured the USA, UK, and Europe extensively in the early 70’s. One of progressive rock’s originators, the band played to audiences of over 150,000 at some US outdoor festivals. A complete list of venues and the acts Flash played with can be found in Peter Banks’ book “Beyond and Before” (Golden Treasures Publishing).

• TV appearances include NBC’s “Midnight Special” and Metromedia’s “Superstars Of Rock” (with The Who) in the USA , T.V. performances in Europe (Holland, Belgium and Germany), and numerous live radio shows in the U.S.A and on the BBC in Britain.

* After two and a half years of successful touring and three studio albums, Flash disbanded. All four members later reunited in various combinations during the 70's to early 80's and some of the recorded output appears on Ray Bennett’s 2001 archive CD “Angels & Ghosts”. By 1982 the Flash members went their separate ways.

• Flash forward: In 2002 all four original members made contact again and were initially enthusiastic about a Flash reunion. Now spread out across the globe, plans to get together were discussed over several months but in the end, Banks and Hough failed to commit. In late 2004 it was Flash songwriters, Ray Bennett and Colin Carter, who began work.

Bennett (having long since made the shift from bass to lead guitar) and Carter initially launched "The Bennett/Carter Band", a loose-format jam band with a varying cast of bass players and drummers, re-establishing their musical partnership playing Flash songs, new originals and covers. They played small venues from 2005 to 2006, both Bennett and Carter playing guitar, sharing lead vocals and exercising their trademark vocal harmony work. They also performed as a duo.

• 2005 Bennett and Carter officially re-launched their musical partnership as FLASH, bravely playing the classic Flash repertoire as a duo at the invitation of The Baja International ProgRock Festival. This gave impetus to their desire to carry on as Flash, and since that time they have been reworking old Flash tunes and writing and recording new material.

• 2009 Three new Flash songs are previewed on myspace and youtube.
Colin Carter, lead vocals
Ray Bennett, guitar, bass, vocals, and keyboards
Paul Pace, drums
UK drummer, Mark Pardy, who played on Ray Bennett's 2001 solo album, "Whatever Falls", has also recorded new tracks with the band.

• Currently Flash is rehearsing a new live show.

To all music friends, we at Syncretic Srl. are desperately looking to put together 5.000 euros to allow Christine Hopper, great Soft Machine’s bass player Hugh Hopper’s wife, to pay for his husband’s funeral.
Hugh died after nearly one year of suffering for leukaemia, leaving his wife Christine and daughter Rosa in a very bad economic situation.
Christine asked for our help and we feel that we have to do all we can to contribute to offer Hugh a last farewell.
Anybody willing to contribute is welcome!!!
The money collected will be given directly to Christine on the 24th of June: as you understand, we haven’t much time left but, in any case, I hope that you will do your best!!! Thanks!
