Tramp (17)

Polish rock / beat band founded in the second half of the 60s in Świdnik near Lublin. The band Tramp band played in the Company Cultural Center Communication Equipment Factory in Świdnik. His line-up changed frequently. They played there among others: Adam Frydecki, multi-instrumentalist Andrzej Szczodrowski (informal, fifth member Budka Suflera in years 1976-1978), as well as later jazz musicians - saxophonist Włodzimierz Wiński and drummer Zbigniew Kitliński (in later years he became member of one of the most interesting jazz groups in Poland - Jazz Carriers). In April 1966, band (with Szczodrowski as a guitarist) recorded several instrumental pieces for the Polish Radio Lublin (among others "Zemsta samuraja" and "Odwiedziny bogini miłości"). Soon after, Romuald Lipko became his instructor and guitarist (in the years 1966-1970), later leader of Budka Suflera. Together with him, inheritance after the previous musical management was taken over by the talented pianist Ludwik Piłat. Tramp then played a very diverse repertoire. Half consisted of own compositions, and the other half of the foreign rock songs popular at the time with Polish lyrics - for example from the repertoire of Manfred Mann (including "Pretty Flamingo"). In 1970, management of the Cultural Center unexpectedly terminated its cooperation with the ensemble, which led to its disintegration.
