Nigel Pegrum played drums with an early line-up of the Small Faces,^[3] then with Lee Grant And The Capitols before joining Spice, who subsequently changed their name to Uriah Heep and replaced him with a drummer who had a heavier style of playing. He then joined the art-rock/prog-rock band Gnidrolog. He joined Steeleye Span in June 1973, when the folk group finally decided to add a permanent drummer into the band.^[3] In Steeleye Span, Pegrum, in addition to playing the drums, also used his skills as a oboe and flute player.^[4]
