Steve Peregrin Took

Steve Peregrin Took (July 28 1949–October 27 1980) was a British musician.

The Pink Fairies

After being sacked by Bolan, Took formed the Pink Fairies (mark 1) with newly ex-Deviant Mick Farren and Twink. They evolved out of the drinking club of the same name by Took, Syd Barrett, the Pretty Things, the Deviants etc in 1969. However, this didn’t last that long as Twink and the other Deviants formed a new band called the Pink Fairies (mark 2) which were greeted with applause before they even played a note due to the reputation of the name gained by the Took/Farren/Twink incarnation. Took appears prominently on Mick Farren's first solo album Mona the Carnivorous Circus (1970).
