Glyn Mason

New Zealand musician, active in Australia since 1969. Glyn Mason first played rhythm guitar and sang in the New Zealand band Jigsaw for one year before moving onto to replace Larry Morris as lead singer of the Rebels. With Mason as their new lead vocalist, the Rebels recorded a song called "My Son John". The single went to number one on the National NZ Charts. The flip-side was "Passing You By". Both tracks appeared on Madrigal, the Rebels album which came out instead of the long promised second Larry's Rebels album. By the time the album was released, the Rebels were resident in Melbourne and had been signed to do a one-off single over there. When it sunk without a trace in New Zealand as well as Australia there didn't seem much point carrying on and by January 1970, they were no longer. Mason then went on to join Chain, Home, Copperwine, and then Ariel in January 1975. After playing in Ariel, Glyn Mason worked solo for some time, then in 1978 he formed Loose String Band followed by Stockley, See & Mason.
