Tyke (7)

Tyke were a trio from Sheffield comprised of Paul Jarvis (bass guitar, vocals), Dave Robinson (electric and 12-string guitars, mandolin, synthesizer, vocals) and Ken Markham (percussion, vocals). Markham joined in 1975, the name of the original drummer is unknown. Tyke were given a three-year contract with the Mooncrest label and a song titled «Morgan's Privateers» written and produced by the Hermits in 1973, was their planned debut single. But nothing came of it and their recording of «You're So Good To Me» produced by Steve Edgley in 1974 also got shelved by the record company. Tyke had two albums released on Magnum Records, «A Taste of Tyke» in 1976 and «Picture Postcard» in 1977. The trio also backed Dave Berry occasionally in the mid 70s.
