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)

Famous quotes containing the words band of, band and/or angels:
“Band of iris-flowers
above the waves,
you are painted blue,
painted like a fresh prow
stained among the salt weeds.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Citizen’s Band radio renders one accessible to a wide variety of people from all walks of life. It should not be forgotten that all walks of life include conceptual artists, dry cleaners, and living poets.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“Heaven has its business and earth has its business: those are two separate things. Heaven, that’s the angels’ pasture; they are happy; they don’t have to fret about food and drink. And you can be sure that they have black angels to do the heavy work like laundering the clouds or sweeping the rain and cleaning the sun after a storm, while the white angels sing like nightingales all day long or blow in those little trumpets like they show in the pictures we see in church.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
