Dean Howard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dean Howard (born 7 May 1961, Greenwich, London) is a guitarist was part of Ian Gillan's backing band on the Deep Purple frontman's U.S. solo tour in August and September 2006.

[edit] Career

Howard first came into the public eye in the 1980s when he joined the pop / rock band T'Pau. They were fronted by the singer Carol Decker, and Howard joined just after their debut album Bridge of Spies was recorded. Howard became a pin-up to the female fans of the band.^{[citation needed]}

T'Pau were one of only a handful of bands to have a major hit in the U.S. before having a Top 10 hit in their own country (England) with the song, "Heart and Soul".

Howard added a more heavy rock style of guitar work. His style helped give T'Pau a number one song, "China in Your Hand".

He is still working, and can be found at this website Dean howard
