By 1969, when he formed Thunderclap Newman as a side gig, Townshend has enjoyed pop hits with The Who including “I Can’t Explain”, “My Generation”, “Substitute”, “I’m A Boy”, “Happy Jack”, “Pictures Of Lily”, “I Can See For Miles”, “Call Me Lightning”, “Magic Bus”, “Pinball Wizard” and “I’m Free”.Īndy “Thunderclap” Newman was born in November 1942 in Isleworth, Middlesex, and grew up in Hounslow. In 1964 there was another regional band named The Detours and so Daltry’s band came up with a new name, The Who. And soon after suggested Pete Townsend join the band. He and a schoolmate, John Entwistle, formed a traditional jazz group called the Confederates where Townshend played banjo and Entwistle played horn. John Entwistle joined Roger Daltry’s band, The Detours, in 1961. Born into a musical family, Townshend learned to play guitar at the age of eleven. Peter Townshend was born in West London in 1945. The band opened concerts for The Who when they toured Scotland in 1967. In 1967, he was a member of the psychedelic band One in a Million who released several singles in Scotland. In 1964, at the age of eleven he was inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt and began to learn guitar. James “Jimmy” McCulloch was born in Dumbarton, Scotland, in 1953.
Who bassist John Entwistle joked that people thought “Armenia City In The Sky” was “I’m an Ear Sitting in the Sky”.

In his late teens he played with The Krewsaders, and 1964-65 with The Second Thoughts. John David Percy “ Speedy” Keen was born in West London, England, in 1945. #842: Something In The Air by Thunderclap Newman
