The Children Biography
There is more than one band called The Children:
1) Although relatively young in age (18-21), the band had a common interest in the sound of the 60s, being influenced by such bands as Cream, Captain Beefheart The Doors, Hendrix, and The Kinks, and it was this interest that pushed them together.
The end result was that The Children have created their own unique sound by combining the psychedelic haze of the 60s with modern day rock (rock music with a rhythm/beat ), adding in plenty of charismatic guitar and organ combined with driving bass lines.
All band members contribute to the writing and music composition making it extremely easy to produce a supply of new material.
The Children are Benjamin Carcamo (vocals), Johnny Brown (bass), Martin Walsh (rhythm guitar), Pauli Leon Riley (lead guitar), Ronnie Robinson (keyboards) and Chris Carcamo (drums).
2) The Children is also the name of a Texas psych band featuring the vocal talents of Cassell Web. In 1968, the band released its only album 'Rebirth' containing West Coast styled psych with great fuzz guitar.
3) The Children is a London-based acoustic/folk-rock group whose core members are singer and bassist Armorel Weston and guitarist and songwriter John Gibbens. They started performing their own material on the London acoustic scene in the early 1990s. In 1999 they released their first album, Play, which featured improvising virtuosi such as Annie Whitehead (trombone), Anne Wood (violin), Alfredo Genovesi (guitar + electronics), and Gail Brand (trombone). The rhythm section comprised Julia Doyle (double bass) and Frank Hall (drums). On two tracks the bassist is Jason Rogers. Additional percussion is by Bertie Fritsch.
Seven further albums followed, the latest being Equals (2006) and The Health of the People (2007), with musical guests including Kath Tait (concertina), Hayereyah (percussion and harmonica), Dunstan Clarke (percussion), Rob Mason (harmonica), Paul Barrett (drums) and Terry Edwards (trumpet).
Master saxophonist Lol Coxhill played with The Children at several recent gigs.
