THE STOCKLEY SEE MASON BAND


Each of these three guys already had an amazing pedigree as guitarists, singers and songwriters with some of our best bands when they came together in 1978. Chris Stockley had played in Cam-Pact, Axiom, The Dingoes, Greg Quill's Southern Cross and had tenures with Rock Doctors, Jimmy Barnes and Broderick Smith among many others to come. Sam See had been an early member of Sherbet before making his name with Flying Circus, Fraternity, Greg Quill's Southern Cross and later on John Farnham's band, Goanna, Zarzoff Brothers and again Brod Smith.

Add Glyn Mason's pedigree and it's very apparent what a talented band they were. Glyn came to Australia from NZ with The Rebels (formerly Larry's Rebels), then quickly found himself part of the Chain line-up that recorded 'Live' and 'Live Again'. After replacing Jeff St John in Copperwine for a short time he formed the groundbreaking country rock group Home who recorded two albums, then he joined Mike Rudd in Ariel to share vocals and writing duties. He was also a prominent performer at the Andy Durant Memorial Concert. Although they were a highly talented band with seasoned song writing skills, they only produced one album 'Beg Steal or Borrow' produced by (former Fairport Convention member) Trevor Lucas, one EP and one single ''Lucy / Paradise For Fools'' on the Mushroom label. Disbanded in 1981.
