Shabby Tiger - Slow Down • TopPop

Shabby Tiger was a British glam rock band that was active between 1974 and 1976, the waning days of glam rock that reached great heights end sixties/ begin seventies with artists such as Mud and The Sweet. Despite being largely unnoticed in their home country, Shabby Tiger achieved success in Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The successful lineup consisted of Henderson ‘Hendy’ Gibson on vocals, Toni Baker on keyboards, Graham Fielden on drums, Dave Almond on guitar, and Mike Ryan on bass. Prior to his involvement with Shabby Tiger, Henderson co-wrote and sang backing vocals for Billy Ocean and the Nolan Sisters in the early 1970s. Their first single, “Slow Down“, reached the charts in Scandinavia, Germany (no. 1), The Netherlands (no. 6), and Belgium but failed to make an impact in the UK. Other songs were “Amourous Lady“, “Devil Rides Tonight“ and “Stone Angel“. They played many shows abroad, often with The Sweet, Darts, and Thin Lizzy but eventually disbanded in 1976 after releasing five singles and one album. Unfortunately, lead singer Henderson Gibson passed away from lung cancer on March 26, 2013. Mid 2022 his son posted a message on a video of Shabby Tiger om which he said he was reforming the band with himself as the singer and the other four original members and they went up in the studio recording new songs.
