  5. Phil Lanzon was the organist in a Croydon, Surrey band called The Trogs before it morphed into The Bisons in 1965. He was then poached by The Subjects who merged with The Loose Ends in 1966.
    You can read the rest of his story up to joining Uriah Heep at this link: http://thestrangebrew.co.uk/articles/the-loose-ends/
