Budgie : An Ecstasy of Fumbling – The Definitive Anthology


 John Burke Shelley

  (April 10th,1950 – January 10th, 2022) 

was a 

Welsh musician, 

best known

 as the

 lead vocalist 

and bassist

 of the early 

heavy metal band 

Budgie

Musical Career

In 1967, 

Cardiff-born

 Shelley 

co-founded

 the band 

Hills Contemporary Grass 

with 

Tony Bourge 

on guitar

 and vocals

 and 

Ray Phillips 

on drums. 

The following year 

they changed

 their name to 

Budgie.

Shelley is 

often compared

 to Rush

 bassist/vocalist 

Geddy Lee, 

as they both share

 the position of 

bassist/vocalist

 in power 

trio bands,

 both have 

distinctive

 high-pitched 

singing voices, 

and during the

 mid- to late 1970s,

 they bore a 

striking resemblance

 to one another, 

with long, 

straight hair 

and large glasses. 

Both vocalists 

possessed a

 high tenor vocal range, 

but unlike Lee, 

who is a

 fingerstyle player, 

Shelley played bass

 with a pick.

 In addition to singing

 and playing bass

 for the group,

 Shelley also performed

 keyboards 

on Budgie's 

early albums,

 including the Mellotron on

 "Young Is a World" 

from the band's

 second album 

Squawk.

Budgie's 

November 2010 tour 

of Central Europe

 had to be cancelled 

as Shelley was 

hospitalised on

  November 9th

 in Wejherowo, Poland, 

with a 6 cm

 aortic aneurysm. 

After surgery, 

he returned to Britain

 for recovery, 

but no decision about

 the future of the band

 had been made. 

By the time of his death

 in 2022, 

Budgie were 

considered disbanded

 or on hiatus, 

having not performed 

or recorded since

 Shelley's hospitalisation.
