'''Harvey and the Wallbangers''' were a 1980s jazz vocal harmony group, playing major festivals and the main Concert[[concert Hallshall]]s in Europe and the UK, such as the [[Royal Albert Hall]], [[Sadler's Wells]], [[The Forum, London|The Forum]], [[Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club|Ronnie Scotts]] and the Berlin [[Tempodrom]]. The group also appeared on the [[Royal Variety Show]] and scores of other television programmes including ''"[[Wogan]]"'', ''"[[Russell Harty]]"'' and ''"[[Carrott's Lib]]".''
 
Harvey and the Wallbangers recorded four albums on their own label (Hubbadots) and also The Jazz Album with [[Simon Rattle]] (EMI).<ref>{{cite web|title=Reviews:The Simon Rattle Jazz Album|url=https://www.gramophone.co.uk/review/the-simon-rattle-jazz-album|website=Gramophone|accessdate=25 July 2017}}</ref>

==The Evolution==
<ref>Interview with Musical Director Harvey Brough</ref>
<ref>Interview with Wallbanger Jonny Griffiths</ref>
[[Cambridge]] has a reputation for producing some of the UK’s most exciting and eclectic groups and in the 1970’s [[Telephone Bill and the Smooth Operators]] (TBSO) were performing their original blend of [[Folk music|folk]]/[[Country music|country]]/[[Swing music|swing]] music at festivals across the UK.
 
In 1981 their front man, [[Nick Barraclough]], approached Harvey Brough (a music scholar from [[Clare College, Cambridge]]) to produce some string arrangements for a gig they were doing at the [[Cambridge Arts Theatre]]. In return Nick promised to do a concert at Clare College, in memory of Harvey’s brother Lester, who had been killed in a motor cycle accident. At that concert, Harvey’s barbershop quartet also performed and the evening was such a hit that Nick invited Harvey to form a new group to perform with them at the [[Edinburgh Fringe Festival]] (August 1981).<ref>David Sinclair. "Rock." (Review of Harvey and the Wallbangers at Ronnie Scott's, London.) Times [London, England] 16 Sept. 1986: 27. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 25 July 2017.</ref> That group was named Harvey and the Wallbangers, and included singers (male and female) from Harvey’s Cambridge singing group - The University of Cambridge Consort of Voices who performed Harvey’s arrangements of American Songbook classics.
The following year the group also supported TBSO at the [[ADC Theatre]] Cambridge, which was followed by further gigs in Battersea and Buxton. The Wallbangers now included the long term personnel Jonny Griffiths (who had been studying at Clare college with Harvey) and Jeremy Taylor (a choral scholar from [[St Catharine's College, Cambridge]]).
The rest of the group were made up of Chris Cox (the bass player with TBSO), bass singer Russell Watson, the vocalist (and actor) Brian Shelley and pianist John Miller (who later went on to play with [[Van Morrison]]).
 
Richard Allen (an old school friend of Harvey’s) started off doing publicity for the band, before learning double bass (with Harvey's encouragement) and becoming one of the bands performers.
 
The real turning point for the Wallbangers occurred in 1983, when the group finally went fulltime and the definitive shape of the band was formed with Harvey, Richard, Jonny & Jeremy being joined by bass singer Chris Purves (who was a choral scholar from [[King's College, Cambridge]]) and Neil McArthur (a talented pianist at [[Leeds College of Music]]) who used the alias ''"Reg Prescott"'' on stage.
The group eventually became a band of seven when they were joined in 1985 by drummer Andrew Huggett.

==The Last YearDissolution==
With JonnyAfter Griffiths leavingleft the band, to fulfill his dream of becoming a maths teacher, and with no "BIG" recorded deal in the offing, the band decided to callbreak itup a day and plannedafter a final tour to say farewell.<ref>Requiem in Blue - Harvey Brough biography</ref> The tourband posterperformed saidwith [[Simon Rattle]] and the [[London Sinfonietta]], later released on Rattle's ''Jazz Album'''.<ref>Richard Williams.

The final show, on Sunday 3 May 1987, was originally booked at the [[Duke of York's Theatre]] in the West End, but having sold out in just a morning, it was finally moved to the [[Sadler's Wells Theatre]] in Clerkenwell, London, where the Wallbangers performed for the last time to a packed house in a venue four times the size of what had been originally planned.
So after four years on the road, the Wallbangers ended a successful 1986 with a two-week residency at London's [[Bloomsbury Theatre]],<ref>Flyer from the Bloomsbury Theatre Box Office - December 1986</ref> incorporating a sell out New Years Eve event with a full two hour show, including a star cabaret until 1am. This was followed by an appearance, in February 1987, at Swindon's [[Wyvern Theatre]].<ref>Flyer for Thurs 12th Feb - Wyvern Theatre, Swindon</ref> They also performed with [[Simon Rattle]] and the [[London Sinfonietta]], later released on Rattle's ''Jazz Album''.<ref>Richard Williams.

The celebrations were however tinged with some sadness, as Stephen Grater (the bandsband's manager for the past four years) had contracted a brain tumor, and died a few days before the final concert. According to Purves, this partly inspired the band members to stop.<ref>{{cite web|title=Christopher Purves, From Rocker to Choir Boy to Opera Singer Onon Stage in HGO's Peter Grimes|url=http://www.houstonpress.com/arts/christopher-purves-from-rocker-to-choir-boy-to-opera-singer-on-stage-in-hgos-peter-grimes-6393656|website=Houston Press|date=18 October 18, 2010}}</ref>

==Post-Wallbangers careers==
[[Christopher Purves]], who left the band due to the pressures of touring, trained as an operatic baritone and his first major role was in ''Inés de Castro'' by [[James MacMillan]] in 1997. He also played the lead roles in Alban Berg's ''Wozzeck'' and Verdi's ''Falstaff'', Beckmesser in Wagner's ''Meistersinger'', Tonio in Leoncavallo's ''Pagliacci'' and Balstrode in Britten's ''Peter Grimes''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Christopher Purves interview: From doo-wop to new opera|url=httphttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/opera/9898434/Christopher-Purves-interview-From-doo-wop-to-new-opera.html|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=2 March 2013}}</ref> He also sang in a television commercial for fruit drink [[Um Bongo]].<ref>Emma Pomfret. "In the red and loving it." Times [London, England] 18 Sept.September 2009: 9[S]. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 25 July 2017.</ref>
 
[[Harvey Brough]] followed the dissolution by scoring [[John Godber]]'s ''Shakers'' with his brother Rex, providing what the Times described as "blues, country and [[Bananarama]]-ish tunes".<ref>Kate Bassett. "Happy hour not quite on song." Times [London, England] 17 May 1994: 39. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 25 July 2017.</ref> But like Purves, he later went in a more serious direction, including composing and performing ''Requiem in Blue'', a composition with elements of jazz, folk, and classical music, in tribute to his dead brother.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Walters|first1=John L|title=Harvey Brough|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2004/jun/22/jazz|work=The Guardian|date=22 June 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Album: Harvey Brough, Requiem in Blue (Smudged Discs)|url=httphttps://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/classical/reviews/album-harvey-brough-requiem-in-blue-smudged-discs-2003159.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220509/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/classical/reviews/album-harvey-brough-requiem-in-blue-smudged-discs-2003159.html |archive-date=9 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|work=The Independent|date=17 June 2010}}</ref> He was married to jazz singer [[Jacqui Dankworth]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Acclaimed jazz artist Jacqui Dankworth brings her talent to Oxford|url=http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/leisure/musics/11710617.All_that_jazz_makes_Jacqui_Dankworth_a_class_act/|work=Oxford Mail|date=8 January 2015}}</ref>
 
==Harvey and the "New" Wallbangers==
 
The members of the band worked together occasionally after the split. Harvey Brough was joined by the reunited Wallbangers for a 2004 concert at the [[Usher Hall]] in Edinburgh.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Wallbangers bounce back|url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/culture/music/the-wallbangers-bounce-back-1-561498|work=The Scotsman|date=10 November 2004}}</ref>
In 2016 Clara Sanabras asked Harvey to reform the Wallbangers to appear on one song (Travellers Never Did Lie) on her album ''"A Hum About Mine Ears”.'' Based on Shakespeare’s ''"The Tempest”'', this was an extraordinarily ambitious suite of songs for Soloist (the composer herself) Choir (Chorus of Dissent) and Orchestra ([[Britten Sinfonia]]), with another special guest, one [[Nigel Kennedy]]. The CD was launched at the Barbican, London in March 2016, by Clara with the new Harvey and The Wallbangers, Britten Sinfonia, Jacqueline Shave, Violin and two choirs - Chorus of Dissent and Harvey’s Vox Holloway conducted by Harvey. {
