In the sixties Les Harvey was asked to join The Animals by Alan Price but chose to stay with his brother Alex in the Alex Harvey Soul Band. He later joined the ill-fated Blues Council, another Scottish band. The Blues Council made one record, Baby Don't Look Down then in March 1965 their tour van crashed killing vocalist Fraser Calder and bassist James Giffen and the rest of the band went their separate ways In 1969 Les joined Scottish band Cartoone to record some tracks for their 2nd album, and then he accompanied Cartoone on their live tour of USA supporting Led Zeppelin. Les gave Jimmy Page a run for his money with some virtuoso guitar playing on the tour. Jimmy was very impressed with Les. Les and Cartoone were given a standing ovation in Chicago when they supported the US band Spirit in 1969. John Lee Hooker, whose songs both Les and Cartoone used to cover on their tour of the UK, was actually their opening act this time.
