Mapleoak, Denmark May 1969, Left to right: Mick Cook, Stan Endersby, Pete Quaife and Marty Fisher
In October 2022, Endersby returned to England for the first time since leaving in the summer of 1970 to track down his old haunts and to reminisce about his time playing with former Kinks bass player Peter Quaife in the short-lived Maple Oak. He talks to Jason Barnard of the Strange Brew.
Canadian guitarist and former child actor Stan Endersby first came to prominence on the Toronto music scene during the 1960s with a succession of bands – The Just Us, The Tripp and Livingston’s Journey. In the early 1970s, he recorded with future Motown star Rick James before heading to L.A at the end of the decade where he worked with former Love guitarist singer/songwriter Bryan MacLean. Later, he played alongside original members Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin in Buffalo Springfield Revisited and also recorded with Toronto legends The Ugly Ducklings: thestrangebrew.co.uk/interviews/stan-endersby-1
