Andy Qunta :
"...Hi Kossoff,
Thanks for your message!
Originally called Perfect Turkey, Velvet Hush was a band my brother Tony and I formed at school in 1968. We switched instruments with each other occasionally, but the line-up on the single was:
Andy Qunta - guitar, piano, vocals
Tony Qunta - bass guitar
Dick Bloom - drums
Both these songs were written by me, but we all wrote songs.
After that band, Tony & I formed rock band Factory in 1970, with Tony on lead guitar, me on keyboards & 12-string guitar, and it lasted till 1976. We reformed it in 2015, and our latest album was just released.
Tony & I have been musicians all our lives. I actually did two tours in Poland with a band called Classix Nouveaux in the ‘80s. I also had success with Australian band Icehouse, and co-wrote a big hit for John Farnham - You’re The Voice. ..."
"...The band was originally called Perfect Turkey. In October ‘68, when I was 17 and Tony & Dick were 15, we recorded 4 songs at R.G.Jones Studio in south London - Feelings Burnt By Love, The Empty Air, Stones, and Curried Turkey (Perfect Turkey Blues). In March ‘69, at the same studio, we recorded Broken Heart & Lover Please. By this time we decided Perfect Turkey was a silly name, so we changed it to Velvet Hush, but it’s the same band.
I may have a couple of photos. I will try to find them for you.
We no longer have copies of the first 4 songs, unfortunately.
Lover Please was released on a double album a few years ago - The Best of Oak Records. I also have a very bad copy of Broken Heart, which I hope I can restore, as it skips a lot. I will try to do that soon.
I will try to send you whatever photos I can find, and copies of the 2 songs in the next few days. ..."
