Jane Aire & The Belvederes
Another talented singer from Akron, Ohio whose career really got
started outside her homeland.
Aire's backing group The Belvederes were in reality a London
group called The Edge, who came about when guitarist Lu Edmonds
and drummer Jon Moss left a brief and unrecorded incarnation of
The Damned in 1978.
With the addition of keyboardist Gavin Povey
(who had played with Lew Lewis) and bassist Glyn Havard (whose
long career has included stints with The Yachts and, er, Jade
Warrior), The Edge fell together.
As well as playing behind Jane Aire on her LP, they appeared,
nearly intact, on Kirsty MacColl's first album (and recorded
their own album, called Square One). Subsequent to the
Edge, Lu worked in a number of bands, including Shriekback,
the Spizzles and Public Image Ltd., while Jon Moss went on to
temporary fame and fortune in Culture Club.
