Hilton Valentine's "THE ANIMALS"

  Hilton Valentine and John Steel (original members of The Animals in the early 60's) with others performed and recorded as Animals II during the 1990's. Dave Rowberry (who replaced Alan Price on keyboards with The Animals in May 1965 and played with The Animals until the band split in 1967) joined up with Valentine and Steel in August 1999. Valentine, Steel and Rowberry then performed and toured as The Animals with Jim Rodford (ex The Kinks, Argent, Mike Cotton Sound) and Tony Liddle from late 1999 through to late 2001.
