Quicksand (4)

Welsh band, originally formed in 1969. The initial line-up featured Michael "Will" Youatt (bass) (1950-2017), Jimmy Davies (guitar), Jeff Hooper (guitar), Robert Collins (keyboards) and Anthony Stone (drums). This line up recorded one single "Passing By"/"Cobblestones" (both written by Youatt) in 1970. Youatt left to join Piblokto! for a brief period before moving on to [a86936] and then The Neutrons. Hooper also left and Phil Davies (bass) then joined the band. A second single "Time To Live"/"Empty Street, Empty Heart" was released in 1973 and was soon followed by the album Home Is Where I Belong later that year. The band ceased to exist in 1975. After they split, Collins became a sound man, initially for Man, but later for such people as Eric Clapton. Davies re-joined Youatt to form Alkatraz (5), who recorded one album, [m347904] for United Artists.
