Tapestry:
This duo made an immediate impression when Only One Woman, a Bee Gees' composition, burst into the UK Top 5 in 1968. The similar follow-up, The Walls Fell Down, also made the Top 30. They really could have been mistaken for The Bee Gees on that first 45 and interestingly there was another connection because Graham Bonnet was the Gibb brothers' cousin. In fact Bee Gee Barry Gibb discovered the duo, which led to them being signed to a Robert Stigwood management deal. Both sides of their first two 45s were written by the Gibb brothers. In addition to their three 45s they turn up on Polydor's 1970 Pop Party compilation, playing Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. They also recorded two German-only 45s and a self-titled album released in Germany and in America in 1970.
After The Marbles' demise, in October 1969, Bonnet launched a solo career and then at the very end of the seventies became vocalist with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Trevor Gordon issued an album, Alphabet (Polydor 2343 011) 1970.
