Nickey Barclay

After the Svelts disbanded, Alice de Buhr started yet another all-woman band called Wild Honey that June Millington and Jean Millington later joined; they eventually moved to Los Angeles.  Wild Honey was on the brink of breaking up but made one last appearance at the L.A. nightclub the Troubadour.  While there, they met Richard Perry, who arranged to have the band signed in 1969 to Reprise Records.  After being signed, Wild Honey recruited keyboardist Nickey Barclay, who had played in Joe Cocker’s “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” musical ensemble.
