Tench was best known for his work withFreddie King[1] andVan Morrison, as well as being a member ofthe Jeff Beck Group,Humble Pie andStreetwalkers At the start of his career he performed and recorded withthe Gass and also appeared withGonzalez, before joining the Jeff Beck Group. He recorded withGinger Baker before touring withBeck, Bogert & Appice as vocalist and recording sessions withLinda Lewis. Associations withWailerJunior Marvin andblues guitaristFreddie King followed.[2]
He signed toA&M Records and formedHummingbird, later joiningRoger Chapman andCharlie Whitney inStreetwalkers. During this period he had brief associations withBoxer andWidowmaker, recording album tracks with each before working with Van Morrison. When his commitments with Morrison came to an end he moved on to work and record withEric Burdon alsoAxis Point, beforeSteve Marriott included him as an official band member in a new lineup of Humble Pie.[2] Tench continued to record and make live appearances, until his death in February 2024 at the age of 79.[3]
He was born inTrinidad[4] and his family moved to London when he was young. Inspired byRay Charles andSam Cooke he began singing in bands as a teenager and learnt to play guitar.[1] Bands he played with during his teenage years included The Senators and The Creators.[5]
Tench formedthe Gass with Godfrey and Errol McLean in May 1965 and they soon recruited the remaining three members, Humphrey Okah, Ian Thomas and Stuart Colwell.[5] The band played mainly in the London Club circuit[6] appearing at West End venues such as Rasputin's,The Bag O'Nails,[4]The Speakeasy Club,The Flamingo Club (also known as The Pink Flamingo), Sibyllas and Revolution.[7] They also made other appearances elsewhere in the UK with occasional tours in Europe.[6][8]
The Gass were often accompanied on stage by guest musicians such asGeorgie Fame,[6]Jimi Hendrix andEric Burdon.[1] They recorded two singles forParlophone[8] and another forCBS with their original lineup,[9] before taking a "more progressive musical direction".[10] During 1968 they were supporting bands such asLed Zeppelin who were billed as The Yardbirds for their first UK appearance on 25 October that year at Surrey University.[11] Tench moved on with drummer Godfrey McLean to form a new lineup and were signed byPolydor Records soon before their debut release. By that time, the band was simply known as Gass and were the backing band forCatch My Soul (1968), a stage musical produced byJack Good. Tench was later featured as a part of Gass on the original UK cast soundtrack "Catch My Soul" released in 1971.[10][12] They recordedJuju (1970)[13] featuring theFleetwood Mac guitaristPeter Green on the tracks "Juju" and "Black Velvet".[14]
Tench instigated an early lineup ofGonzalez in 1970.[15] with Godfrey McLean. This included Gass bandmates bassist Delisle Harper, percussionist Lennox Langton[16] and sax player Mick Eve.[17]
Tench moved on at the end of May 1971, leaving Gass and Gonzalez to become a member ofthe Jeff Beck Group.Jeff Beck had signed a record deal withCBS in June 1971, having reformed the Jeff Beck Group. Vocals byAlex Ligertwood had been unexpectedly rejected by record company bosses, forcing Beck to find a replacement singer. Having heard Tench perform with Gass "Upstairs" atRonnie Scott's club inSoho, London Beck employed him as the replacement vocalist. In their book about Beck, Chris Hjort and Doug Hinman mention these circumstances.[18] He was given only a short time to add his vocals toRough and Ready (1971), before mixing resumed on tracks previously recorded in London by Beck and the other band members including, drummerCozy Powell, bassistClive Chaman and keyboard playerMax Middleton.[19]
When the album was released in Europe they toured Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.[18]Rough and Ready[20] was released in USA eight months later and a sixteen date promotional tour followed. The album eventually reached No. 46 on theUS album charts.[21] Of TenchRolling Stone magazine stated: "...then comes Situation a long, well-played evocation of that misnamed hybrid jazz-rock and a neat rocker called Short Business. Vocalist Tench does a valiant job on both considering the considerable handicap of being mixed down under the guitar."[22] In January 1972, the Jeff Beck Group travelled to United States to join Beck at TMI studios inMemphis, Tennessee, where they recorded the albumJeff Beck Group (1972) withSteve Cropper asproducer.[23] The promotional tour which followed included an appearance on theBBC In Concert series, which was recorded on 29 June 1972 at theParis Theatre, London. During this session Tench's guitar playing was featured on "Definitely Maybe".[24]
On 24 July 1972, the second Jeff Beck Group was officially disbanded and Beck's management released this statement: "The fusion of the musical styles of the various members has been successful within the terms of individual musicians, but they didn't feel it had led to the creation of a new musical style with the strength they had originally sought".[18]
In 1971 Tench played guitar withCream's drummerGinger Baker, studio sessions were recorded and released on the albumStratavarious in July 1972. He was credited as Bobby Gass and appeared withAfro beat musicianFela Ransome-Kuti. He also appeared at live dates with Baker during this period.[25][26][27][28] He reunited with Jeff Beck during the summer of 1972. At that time Beck was collaborating with bassistTim Bogert and drummerCarmine Appice and they had begun touring the United States on 1 August 1972, billed as The Jeff Beck Group. Tench was flown in from England to replace vocalistKim Milford,[19] who left after theArie Crown concert in Chicago, on 8 August. The tour concluded at theParamount Theatre inSeattle, on 19 August 1972 and Tench ended his association with Jeff Beck further to the formation of the power trioBeck, Bogert & Appice.[18]
Tench recorded with theblues rock guitaristFreddie King,[29] credited on two King albums,Burglar (1974) andLarger Than Life (1975).[30][31]
Tench featured as guitarist onFathoms Deep (1973), an album byLinda Lewis which followed her top twenty success with "Rock a Doodle Do" in the UKsingles charts. He appeared alongside formerJeff Beck Group keyboardistMax Middleton, bassistPhil Chen and guitaristJim Cregan who also produced the album.[32] In her review ofFathoms Deep forAllmusic, Amy Hanson wrote: "Helmed by a virtual supergroup featuring the likes of R&B masters Bobby Tench, Max Middleton, Danny Thompson and rocker Philip Chen, alongside Jim Cregan, Fathoms Deep is a true singer songwriter's album, tasteful and tight".[33]
During February 1973 he went into the studio withJunior Marvin who had formed the bandHanson also later known as Junior Marvin's Hanson. They recorded tracks for the albumNow Hear This (1973). Marvin had previously appeared with Tench on theGass albumJuju three years previously, credited asJunior Kerr.[34][9][35] The lineup on this album included drummerConrad Isidore, bassistClive Chaman who later joined Tench inHummingbird and DeLisle Harper who also played bass and had been a member of Gass with Tench. The album fused rock withfunk and was produced by Mario Medious also known as Big M.[36]
Tench signed toA&M in 1973, and later formed the rock andsoul fusion band Hummingbird,[37] whose lineup included members of the secondJeff Beck Group also a second guitarist Bernie Holland and drummer Conrad Isidore.[38] They recordedHummingbird in 1975, the first of three albums produced bySammy Samwell.[39][40] Jeff Beck recorded several tracks with the band which remained unreleased and made a live appearance with them at theMarquee Club in London.[41]
In April 1975 he became a member of theStreetwalkers.[42] He had already been performing as part of a fluid lineup withRoger Chapman andCharlie Whitney's band "Chapman Whitney Streetwalkers".[43] Tench appeared with this touring band at concerts such as atHyde Park in London in june 1974.[44] He also appeared in television appearances with Streetwalkers, includingRockpalast in March 1975.[45] Streetwalkers recorded their first albumDowntown Flyer early in 1975, which was released during October the same year in Europe and the USA,[43] following it up with a second album, thegroove heavyRed Card (1976), which became their most respected album.[46] On 8 June 1976 and in March 1977 he appeared with Streetwalkers on theBBC Radio 1Peel Sessions[47][48][49]
Tench recorded the second album with Hummingbird,We Can't Go On Meeting Like This, released in 1976 as the first of two albums to feature drummerBernard "Pretty" Purdie.[50] Tench also recorded at this time withMott the Hoople andSpooky Tooth guitaristLuther Grosvenor's bandWidowmaker[51] which had been formed during 1975. He contributed guitar and vocals to their albumWidowmaker (1976).[52]
During 1976 Tench recorded with the UK bandBoxer, formed in 1975 byMike Patto andOllie Halsall.[53][54][55] These tracks were recorded atThe Manor Studios in Oxfordshire and released on the albumBloodletting (1979).[56] He appeared with members of Boxer at theCrystal Palace Garden Party concert promoted byHarvey Goldsmith on July 1 1976, billed as Dick and the Fireman. This concert also featuredEric Clapton, Freddie King,Larry Coryell andRonnie Wood on the same bill.[57] On 19 April 1977, Streetwalkers on their third appearance on Rockpalast.[45] During 1977 they released their third and last studio albumVicious but fair and alsoLive Streetwalkers as the band broke up.[58] Tench and Hummingbird's final albumDiamond Nights was released the same year.[59]
Van Morrison included Tench in a new band lineup as the lead guitarist and a vocalist in March 1978, to record theWavelength album.[60] Tench was recommended to Morrison by drummerPeter Van Hooke, after Hooke had seen him perform with Streetwalkers. In an interview withJohnny Rogan Tench stated: "I quite liked the songs 'Natalia' and 'Wavelength' because I had a lot to do with them. They came together quickly. He's a very quick worker and once it's there he doesn't see why you can't record it. He let us get on with it, really. It was a good band."[60] He was credited with production assistance, guitar and backing vocals on this album. This became Morrison's best selling album at that time.[61] He also contributed lead guitar and vocals to the promotional tour which followed. This tour started inSanta Clara, California on 30 September 1978 and ended on 1 March 1979 inNewcastle upon Tyne, England.
By the end of the tour he had appeared in Morrison's lineup sixty two times.[60][62] One of these appearances with Morrison was recorded and broadcast byWNEW-FM radio on 1 November 1978 at theBottom Line in New York.[63] In his book Van Morrison: The Mystic Music, Howard. A. DeWitt described this concert as: "the best live Van Morrison concert broadcast over radio".[64] Later that year on 26 November 1978, Morrison appeared with the same band at theRoxy in Los Angeles, USA. This performance was recorded and released as the promotional albumLive at the Roxy (1979).[65] Two tracks were released later as part of the remastered Wavelength album in 2008.[66]
Tench's last appearance with Morrison's band was in the videoVan Morrison in Ireland (1981). This was filmed in February 1979 during Morrison's Wavelength Tour. Of the band's performance on the video Tony Stewart commented in the music paperNME that: "The band display a range of textures reminiscent ofThe Caledonia Soul Orchestra, first with the dark resonance of Toni Marcus' violin then Pat Kyle's bright sharp tenor sax and finally Bobby Tench's prickly electric guitar".[61] In a review of the same video in 2012 Eleanor Mannikka (Rovi) mentions "the quality of the music" in her review forThe New York Times.[67]
During May 1978 Tench joinedEric Burdon to record the albumDarkness Darkness,[68] at Roundwood House inCounty Leix Ireland. The album was released nearly two years later. This album was recorded usingRonnie Lane's Mobile Studio and with a lineup also including guitaristsBrian Robertson fromThin Lizzy andHenry McCullough formerly ofWings andMick Weaver fromTraffic. He performed with Burdon at concerts during this time[69] later joining Streetwalkers guitaristCharlie Whitney's bandAxis Point[70] as a guitarist and vocalist onAxis Point (1978).[71]
Tench became a member ofHumble Pie in 1980[72] further to a previously aborted attempt to enlist him.[73] The lineup included founder member guitarist and vocalistSteve Marriott, their original drummerJerry Shirley and American bassistAnthony "Sooty" Jones. They recorded and submitted "Fool For a Pretty Face" to record companies which Marriott had written with Shirley earlier. The song secured a recording contract withAtlantic subsidiaryAtco in USA andDon Arden'sJet Records in UK.[74] Tench remained with them and they recordedOn To Victory (1980). This reached number sixty in theBillboard 200 album charts. The single "Fool For a Pretty Face" reached number fifty two in the USsingles charts. Tench toured with Humble Pie in USA as part of the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon, which included others such asAerosmith. The band recordedGo for the Throat (1980) and toured this album after its release[73] Earlier in the tour scheduled appearances by the band were delayed and later Marriott became ill. These circumstances caused the tour to be cancelled. Soon afterwards Humble Pie disbanded.[74]
Tench recorded "Chain Gang" in 1982 as a tribute toSam Cooke,[40] which was released by the German label Line Records. "Looking for a Good Time" was featured on theB side, a song co-written by Tench andPeter Bardens.[75]
In the early 1980s Tench formed the touring band Heart and Soul.[2] He appeared with Roger Chapman's Shortlist at Glastonbury in 1985, also appearing with them at various other European festivals during that period.[76] Moreover, he recorded withTopper Headon the drummer fromThe Clash, credited on Headon's albumWaking Up (1986).[77][78] The lineup included Headon, Tench, vocalistJimmy Helms, formerIan Dury and the Blockheads,Clash keyboard playerMick Gallagher and bassist Jerome Rimson.[79]
In 1986 he recorded vocals for acover of "Still in Love with You" (1986) forStiff Records, as a tribute toPhil Lynott who had died on 4 January the same year. The song was released as a single by the Stiff label, later the same year and featuredBrian Robertson who had played on the originalThin Lizzy recording.[80][81] The B side "Heart Out Of Love" was co-written by Jeremy Bird and Tench.[81]
In 1993 Tench sang lead vocals with the Thin Lizzy band, which featured original Thin Lizzy drummerBrian Downey, former guitarist Brian Robertson also Doish Nagle and bassist Dough Brookie. The band played a tour of Ireland.[82] The next year he played guitar and sang vocals with formerAnimals keyboardistAlan Price and The Electric Blues Company[83][84] recordingCovers (1994) with them.[85] Later that year they recorded "A Gigster's Life for Me" with the same lineup.[86] This album was recorded between July and August 1995 atOlympic Studios, London and released the next year as part ofSanctuary's Blues Masters Series.[86] In his review forAllmusic, Thom Jurek stated that "the Peter Barden's and Bobby Tench song 'Good Times, Bad Woman' with its slippery guitars and keyboards feels more like Peter Green's mid-period work and the killer read of Boz Scagg's Some Change is more driven and funky than the original. Then there's the reggae-blues of the title track, which swings out of a jazzy backbeat into a rootsier inner circle type groove."[86]
During 1995 he contributed guitar and vocals toRattlesnake Guitar (1995), a tribute toPeter Green,[87] joiningPaul Jones andMax Middleton on the song "Whatcha Gonna Do" andZoot Money on "Albatross". The album was released in October of the same year.[88] Tench contributed guitar and vocals toRuby Turner's rhythm and blues albumCall Me by My Name during 1998 which was released in the same year, appearing alongsideBoz Burrell,Stan Webb andZoot Money.[89]
Humble Pie drummerJerry Shirley reformed Humble Pie in UK during 2000 with a lineup including former member Tench, their original bassistGreg Ridley and a new rhythm guitaristDave "Bucket" Colwell. They recordedBack on Track[90], which was released bySanctuary Records on 19 February 2002.[91] A brief tour of UK and Europe withCompany of Snakes followed but was curtailed due to Greg Ridley becoming ill.[92]

He was also fronted the house band which includedZak Starkey,Rabbit Bundrick andRick Wills.[93][94] Performances from this concert were recorded and a DVD entitledThe Steve Marriott Astoria Memorial Concert 2001 was eventually released on 5 October 2004.[95]
Tench continued with studio work, occasionally making appearances at live shows such as withRoger Chapman,Arthur Louis andJim Cregan.[1] In 2009 he was a featured artist in the Maximum Rhythm and Blues Tour of thirty two UK theatres.[96]

Tench died on 19 February 2024.[101] In his article written as an obituary for the May 2024 edition of theClassic Rock magazine Dave Ling stated, "Although Tench never quite attained the level of appreciation that he deserved, his immense talent was recognised by serious music fans, peers and fellow musicians."[102]
ForAllmusic Mark Deming states in his biography of him, that he was "a talented journeyman singer and guitarist who worked with some of the biggest and best-respected names in British rock”[2] and in their bookChronology of Jeff Beck's Career 1965–1980. Chris Hjort and Doug Hinman when writing about Tench joining the Jeff Beck group mention that he was "a talented singer and a proficient guitar player"[103]
Matt Parker ofGuitar World stated in the obituary he wrote about Tench in February 2024 that he was "a phenomenal vocalist" and recalled that his progressive vocals on the Jeff Beck Group's Rough and Ready album split critical opinion at the time of release. He also commented that Tench was an "adept guitarist".[31]
When writing about Tench joining the Jeff Beck Group the author Martin Power in his book about Jeff Beck, makes reference to him stating that "he was a first class singer".[104] On the original release of the Jeff Beck Group's albumRough and Ready, Stephen Davis ofRolling Stone magazine wrote "Then comes [the track] Situation and a neat rocker called Short Business. Vocalist Tench does a valiant job on both, considering the considerable handicap of being mixed down under the guitar. Tench has a fine, gravel voice and sometimes sounds likeFelix Cavaliere. Trying to fill [Rod] Stewart's high heels is no mean feat and it's to Tench's credit that he carries himself well".[105]
A Beat publication which featured an article about the band Hummingbird's albumWe can't go on meeting like this, noted that Tench's voice had "surprising power and range used to the full"[106] and of the band in which Tench also played lead guitar, the music magazineGramophone commented that "the members of Hummingbird are the cream of British session musicians, more acclimatised than most to playing rock at all intellectual levels".[107]
In her review of The Linda Lewis album Fathoms Deep, Amy Hanson described Tench and other musicians who played on the album as "R&B masters".[33] In 2008 Doug Collett reviewed Van Morrison's re-masteredWavelength album (2008) for the online magazine All About Jazz and enthused about Tench's guitar solo on the title track stating that he "imbued his fast fingered guitar solo with all the joy of singing".[66]
Fran Leslie wrote an editorial feature about Tench for the September 2009 edition of the Blues in Britain magazine. In her introduction she wrote, "our cover artist Bobby Tench is a musician who has played and recorded with so many people that his biography reads like a Who's Who of British Blues". She also stated that he was a "noted singer and formidable guitarist".[108]
In a 2012 interview with Tom Jennings from Backstage Axxess,Joe Bonamassa mentioned Tench as a vocal influence.[109] Later, in a 2018 interview with Planet Rock magazine Bonamassa mentioned Tench's vocal skills and stated that, he "had one of the best voices of the 1970s".[110]
Carmine Appice stated in his 2016 autobiography entitled Stick It, that Tench was "a killer soulful singer with a real cool gritty edge to his vocals".[111]
Tench sold his vintage 1959 Les Paul Standard toMark Knopfler in 1999.[112][113] Knopfler sold this guitar for £693,000[31] at aChristie's auction in London on January 31, 2024.[112][114] He also playedFender Stratocasters, during his time withStreetwalkers and throughout his career using models finished in powder blue, sunburst and black.
