FLASH was formed in 1971. It was Colin Carter (vocals) who contacted Peter Banks to form a new band together. Peter was going through his gray period and after his previous experiences with bands wasn’t too keen on getting another one started. But after writing “Small Beginnings” together, Peter shopped the demo around and landed a deal. The next task was to find the right musicians, which proved to be more work than it seemed. It was Peter who thought up the band name, and once Ray Bennett (on bass) and Mike Hough (on drums) would combine forces – they would become FLASH. Deciding against using a keyboardist, Peter ultimately developed an exciting guitar style and created Flash’s special sound. They released 3 albums in just 2 years before calling it a day in 1973.

Flash opened for Wishbone Ash in Ocean City on August 10, 1973. We were right up front and it was an amazing show. I remember this night vividly. Good times!

Flash’s 14 Sep 1972 gig was at Radford College, Radford VA, with “The Divots” opening and “Blue Oyster Cult” headlining.
