John “Poli” Palmer

Poli Palmer was an integral player in the initial sound of Uk rockers Family even though he was together for five albums. John Michael Palmer (nicknamed Poli) was a drummer who found vibraphone on the way. He got his begin playing within the proto-Traffic groupings the Hellions and Deep Sense, that have been Midland’s rings led by Dave Mason and Jim Capaldi. Then joined up with psych-legends Blossom Toes for just one calendar year and three singles, and performed in Eclection for a short while before getting asked to displace his previous friend Jim Ruler in Family, despite the fact that Ruler was a saxophonist and Palmer performed everything but saxophone. His 1970-1972 stint in Family members resulted in their distinctive audio along with his wah-wah piano and fuzz- and synth-driven vibes. After departing Family he silently went into creation and session efforts, and an effort to create a music group with Ric Grech and Mitch Mitchell hardly ever panned out. In 1974, Palmer have scored a rock-based opera known as Hero for the Sydney Opera Home. With the 1980s he toured with Family-singer Roger Chapman for his single tasks. While Palmer is at Germany, he was contacted by the top of Erdenklang, a “computer-acoustic music” label, to record a single album. Human Mistake premiered in 1985, and Palmer dropped the give of another album. He is constantly on the play pubs within the London-based music group Chuck Farley, offering Steve Simpson, Pat Crumley, Peter Stroud, and Sam Kelly.
