Home

Home was a British rock band, active in the early 1970s. The core line up was Mick Stubbs - lead guitar, lead vocals, Laurie Wisefield - lead guitar, vocals, Cliff Williams - bass, vocals, Mick 'Cookie' Cook - drums. They also had two keyboardists over the years. From 1971 to 1972 it was Swansea's Clive John (from the Welsh band Man), and the other for the rest of their short career was Jimmy Anderson. Home was formed by Cliff Williams and Laurie Wisefield in 1970 after their first group together, Sugar, split. They teamed up with guitarist and vocalist Mick Stubbs and drummer Mick Cook. They signed to CBS Records in 1971 and released their first album, Pause for a Hoarse Horse, in August. They started touring in November when they supported Led Zeppelin at the second Electric Magic Show at the Wembley Empire Pool. From then on, they opened for groups such as Argent, The Jeff Beck Group, and The Faces. In September of the same year, they went into the studio again to record the Home album. The LP reached number 41 in the UK Albums Chart.
