Hummingbird were a British rock band, formed in 1974 by Bobby Tench of The Jeff Beck Group. The band recorded three albums which were released by A&M Records in the United States of America, Canada, Australia, Japan and Europe[1] and employed Ian Samwell as their producer.[2] The original line-up included members of the second Jeff Beck Group, vocalist and guitarist Bobby Tench,[3] keyboardist Max Middleton, bassist Clive Chaman, drummer Conrad Isidore and second guitarist Bernie Holland.[4] At the start of sessions for their first album they were joined by Jeff Beck for a brief period but he did not contribute to the album and left to work on his own project.[5] After the first album Bernie Holland was replaced by guitarist Robert Ahwai and drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie[6] replaced Isidore[4] on the next two albums, vocalists Madeline Bell and Liza Strike were brought in to complement the band.
