- Hilton Valentine is a English musician, who was an original guitarist in the The Animals. Valentine was influenced by the 1950's skiffle craze. His mother bought him his first guitar in 1956 when he was 13, he taught himself some chords from a book called "Teach Yourself A Thousand Chords", and formed his own skiffle group called The Heppers. They played local gigs and a newspaper described them at the time as,"A young but promising skiffle group". The Heppers eventually evolved into a rock and roll band, The Wildcats. During this period Valentine played a Futurama III solid guitar, this was the UK brandname of importer Selmer, his next guitar was a Burns Vibra-Artiste which he bought in 1960/61. The Wildcats were a very popular band in the Tyne & Wear area getting a lot of bookings for Dance Halls, Working Men's Clubs, Church Halls etc. , and it was during this period that they decided to record a 10" acetate LP titled Sounds of The Wild Cats (sic). In 1963 The Animals were starting to form and Chas Chandler heard about Hilton Valentine's wild guitar playing and asked him to join what was then the Alan Price Combo. Eric Burdon was already a member and John Steel joined immediately following Valentine's arrival. Within a few months, this group changed their name to The Animals. While The Animals are often remembered most for Burdon's vocals and Price's organ, Valentine is credited with the instantly recognizable electric guitar arpeggio introduction to the Animals' 1964 signature song "The House of the Rising Sun", which inspired countless beginning guitarists. It was played on his Gretsch Tennessean guitar which he bought in Newcastle in early 1962 while he was still with the Wildcats, and a Selmer amplifier. Later, in 1964, Rickenbacker gave him a 1964 Rose Morris guitar to use along with a 12 string model. Valentine went on to play and record with the Animals, until the first incarnation of the band dissolved in September 1966. Valentine subsequently moved to California, recorded an unsuccessful solo album entitled All In Your Head, returned to the UK, and over the years joined several Animals reunions. Along with Eric Burdon, Chas Chandler, Alan Price and John Steel, Valentine was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Along with the other Animals, Hilton was inducted into Hollywood’s Rock Walk of Fame in May 2001. He released a new album It's Folk 'n' Skiffle, Mate! in 2004. From that release until OCT 2008 he played throughout New England and NY with his Skiffledog solo project. From Feb 2007 – November 2008 he toured with Eric Burdon. After his show at the Cutting Room on October 12 he was touring as the opening act for Jonathan Richman the following days. In early 2009 he released two basement demo recordings on his MySpace page. He has plans to return to the studio this year. Hilton Valentine's daughter Samantha plays bass guitar in all female band Ipso Facto, who formed in 2007.
