The Team

The Team was Edwin Starr's touring band. It was formed in 1982 by percussionist Clive Hare and bass player Kevin Kendall. Angelo Starr's first involvement with the group came about during the 1990s when he took the place on a show filling in for their absent guitarist. He carried on doing work for them and served as their musical director. Upon the death of his brother in 2003, he felt he had reached an impasse and did not know if he still wanted to be involved with music. He eventually stepped in to front his brother's touring band The Team which had been around for years. They played at various venues such as the Riverbank Bar & Kitchen, which was part of their concert tour with their end concert in Great Yarmouth in November 2017.
