馃幎 Biographie (Fran莽ais)
Ro Ro 茅tait un groupe britannique 茅ph茅m猫re du d茅but des ann茅es 1970, form茅 par le guitariste et chanteur Alan Ross et le bassiste Warwick Rose, dont le nom du groupe est d茅riv茅 de leurs noms de famille respectifs. Le groupe comprenait 茅galement le clavi茅riste Neil Sheppard, le batteur Rod Coombes et le guitariste et violoniste John Weider, ancien membre des Animals et de Family.
En 1971, Ro Ro a sorti son premier single, "Here I Go Again" / "What You Gonna Do", sous le label Parlophone. L'ann茅e suivante, apr猫s avoir sign茅 avec Regal Zonophone, ils ont publi茅 le single "Goin' Round My Head" / "Down On The Road". Ces sorties n'ont pas rencontr茅 de succ猫s commercial significatif.
En ao没t 1972, le groupe a sorti son unique album, Meet At The Water, sous le label Regal Zonophone. L'album pr茅sente une fusion de rock progressif et de folk, mettant en valeur le jeu de guitare d'Alan Ross et le violon de John Weider. Les morceaux tels que "Goin' Round My Head" et "Beautiful Lady" illustrent cette diversit茅 musicale.
Malgr茅 des compositions soign茅es et des arrangements 茅labor茅s, l'album n'a pas r茅ussi 脿 capter une large audience, ce qui a conduit 脿 la dissolution du groupe peu apr猫s sa sortie. Alan Ross a ensuite poursuivi sa carri猫re musicale en collaborant avec divers artistes et en formant d'autres groupes, notamment Ross et The Alan Ross Band.
馃嚭馃嚫 Biography (English)
Ro Ro was a brief-lived British band from the early 1970s, formed by guitarist and singer Alan Ross and bassist Warwick Rose, whose group name is derived from their respective surnames. The band also included keyboardist Neil Sheppard, drummer Rod Coombes, and guitarist and violinist John Weider, who was a former member of The Animals and Family.
In 1971, Ro Ro released their first single, "Here I Go Again" / "What You Gonna Do," under the Parlophone label. The following year, after signing with Regal Zonophone, they released the single "Goin' Round My Head" / "Down On The Road." These releases did not achieve significant commercial success.
In August 1972, the band released their only album, Meet At The Water, under Regal Zonophone. The album presents a fusion of progressive rock and folk, highlighting Alan Ross' guitar work and John Weider's violin playing. Tracks such as "Goin' Round My Head" and "Beautiful Lady" illustrate this musical diversity.
Despite well-crafted compositions and intricate arrangements, the album failed to gain a wide audience, leading to the band's disbandment shortly after its release. Alan Ross went on to pursue his musical career by collaborating with various artists and forming other groups, including Ross and The Alan Ross Band.
