В составе также: Пэтти Гриффин (вокал), Бадди Миллер (гитара, вокал), Байрон Хауз (бас-гитара) и Марко Джиовино (ударные), а также мультиинструменталист Даррел Скотт.

Band of Joy, Kidderminster
Band of Joy are probably best known for briefly containing half of Led Zeppelin - Robert Plant and John Bonham - and for the fact that Noddy Holder - the implausibly bewhiskered front man of Slade - was (briefly) one of their roadies. There's a lot more to the band than the people who once played with them: they had a pioneering psychedelic light show, and their musical style was experimental. The line up featuring Bonham and Plant also contained Kevyn Gammond, who played guitar for many North Worcestershire bands from an absurdly early age, and later went on to found the Kidderminster-based MAS records, a label pioneering new local bands.
