More on Richard Tandy
Description from Wikipedia:
Richard Tandy (born 26 March 1948, in Birmingham, England), is best known as the keyboard player in the rock band, Electric Light Orchestra ("ELO"). His palette of keyboards (including Mini Moog, clavinet, mellotron and piano) was an important ingredient in the group's sound, for example on the albums "A New World Record", "Out of the Blue", "Discovery" and "Time".
A former pupil of Moseley School, where he first met future bandmate Bev Bevan, Tandy would later be reunited with Bevan in 1968 when he played the harpsichord on The Move's number one chart-topper "Blackberry Way". Later in 1972 Tandy was the bass player in the first live line-up of ELO, then switching to keyboards when Jeff Lynne decided that their live sound needed improvement. Tandy was often seen on stage playing the stereotypical 1970s prog rock stack of keyboards, with bass pedals under his feet. As well as ELO, he has collaborated musically with Jeff Lynne on many projects, among them songs for the Electric Dreams soundtrack, Lynne's solo album Armchair Theatre and Lynne produced Dave Edmunds "Information". Tandy's playing has been loosely compared to that of Tony Banks, by some with the patch engineering quality of Tomita. Before joining ELO Tandy played with the groups "The Uglys" and "Balls". In 1986 Tandy formed the Tandy Morgan Band featuring Dave Morgan and Martin Smith, both of whom had worked with ELO in live concerts.
