Biography
The Sorrows are a British rock band formed in 1963 in Coventry, Warwickshire, England. The initial lineup included Philip (Pip) Whitcher on lead guitar and vocals, Don Fardon on vocals, Philip (Phil) Packham on bass guitar, Terry Juckes on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Bruce Finlay on drums. The band was part of the British beat boom of the 1960s and became a fixture in the English mod scene. Their first recording was a version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", recorded in Joe Meek's bathroom. In 1965, they signed with Pye subsidiary Piccadilly Records and released their debut album Take a Heart, which included notable tracks such as "I Don't Wanna Be Free" and "Baby". The band achieved minor chart success with the single "Take a Heart", reaching number 21 on the UK Singles Chart. After Fardon and Packham left in 1966, Wez Price joined on bass guitar and Roger Lomas became lead guitarist. The Sorrows relocated to Italy where they found moderate success. In 2011, the band was reformed by Fardon and Packham, beginning live performances again with a new lineup that included Nigel Lomas on drums and vocals, Marcus Webb on guitar, and Brian Wilkins on guitar and harmonica.
