The End was a British psychedelic pop band formed in 1965 by Dave Brown (bass, vocals) and Colin Giffin (guitar, lead vocals) following the demise of The Innocents. Nick Graham (keyboards, vocals) and John Horton (saxophone) joined from Dickie Pride's backing group, The Original Topics, and Roger Groom (drums) of The Tuxedos completed the line-up.[2] The band was produced by Rolling Stone Bill Wyman, who arranged for them to tour with his group.[2] After the tour, Grooms quit and was replaced by Hugh Atwooll, an old friend of Graham.[2] Horton would also quit, but continued to work with the band on their second single, "Shades of Orange". In 1969, the band released their only album, Introspection.[1]
John Horton died on 25 September 2023, at the age of 77.[3]
They are not to be confused with the similarly named California band, who released two singles for Kabron Records in 1966–67.
