Brown, Arthur

Arthur Brown is best known for his 1967 world-wide number one single, "Fire" and its classic soundbite, "I am the god of hellfire". Having spent 1966 in Paris perfecting his stage craft, he returned to London to redefine rock theatrics. He would never reach those commerical heights again, despite a plethora of projects, including his vastly underrated prog band Kingdom Come.

Browne, Duncan

Duncan Browne's earliest work is folk or baroque inspired, and his self-titled 1973 release yielded an UK Top 20 single with "Journey". He then ventured to electric guitar and formed Metro with Sean Lyons and Peter Godwin. Browne left after their debut album, releasing a couple of solo albums in the late 70s with John Giblin, Tony Hymas and Simon Phillips. Sadly, he passed away in the early 90s after a battle with cancer.
