Roundabout

In 1967, former Searchers drummer Chris Curtis contacted London businessman Tony Edwards , in the hope he would manage a new group he was assembling, to be called Roundabout. Curtis’ vision was a “supergroup” where the band members would ‘get on’ and ‘get off’, like a musical roundabout. Impressed with the plan, Edwards agreed to finance the venture with his two business partners John Coletta and Ron Hire, who composed Hire-Edwards-Coletta Enterprises (HEC).
