Alex Harvey was born in Glasgow, Scotland 1935.

During the fifties Alex played in many different Jazz bands playing Dixieland Jazz and later skiffle.

In 1959 Alex formed the Alex Harvey Soul Band playing Blues and rock n Roll music. Although a successful stint in Hamburg completed, Alex found it difficult finding recognition with the ‘Soul Band’ and through the second half of the sixties Alex with his brother Les Harvey moved from one group to another until 1969 when he took up as a resident musician in the stage show of ‘Hair’.
