Bobby Deacon. British teen rocker active in 1960 – two singles on Pye.
Big Pete Deuchar &
His Country Blues.
British band formed by James Peter David Deuchar in December 1962. During
1958-59 Pete fronted Peter Deuchar’s New Orleans Jazz Band, touring extensively
in Germany. t seems curious that none of Pete’s 1958–60 outfits recorded, as
opportunities for half-decent British trad bands were becoming easier. By
January 1963 Deuchar had begun a six-month Marquee ‘R&B night’. ‘I changed
from Trad because I felt I was not having freedom of expression,’ Pete said at
the time. His concept, though, was not pure R&B but a mix of R&B and
C&W. R&B was the new thing and anyone in London in 1963 claiming to
play it was sure of a crowd. Deuchar signed to Fontana and released two
singles, the first single has been released in the US, on Deuchar’s own one-off
Pee Dee label, with different B-side.
In 1965 he changed his name to ‘Duker’ and a new phase of his recording career began. He recorded three rockabilly oriented singles, credited to Big Pete Duker
