Information About

Family Dogg




The idea was born when the British singers of the Spanish groups Los Flaps and Diamond Boys Albert Hammond and Steve Rowland met for the first time at a concert in Madrid in 1965. In 1966 Family Dogg was formed in England with the participation of the singers Mike Hazelwood and Christine Holmes. The first album "A Way of Life" was released in 1969 and the title track scored a number 6 smash hit in the UK Singles Charts . In 1970 the group was renamed in "Steve Rowland and The Family Dogg". They got a Number-1-Hit in the Netherlands with the song "Sympathy" previously written by the group Rare Bird in 1969. In 1972 Steve Rowland released a last Family Dogg album "View from Rowland's Head" with guest musicians like Chris Spedding on the guitar and Ireen Sheer as singer.
