Band of Angels
His musical career began while he was still at Harrow School. He had minor success with a group of Old Harrovians, A Band of Angels that had their own comic strip in a UK pop music weekly, Fab 208. A Band of Angels didn't make the big time and D'Abo later reflected on what had gone wrong for them: "We weren't right for each other. We weren't a group. They didn't want me to be too outstanding, a thing that happens naturally in most groups....Also we looked old-fashioned when we started. I knew I looked wrong but I didn't want to change, I looked like me and what I am. It is just lucky that fashion now agrees with me." (Rave, November 1966)

To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,

A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”
