Reg was born on April 4, 1949 in Aruba, Oranjestad, West Indies and educated in London.



In an interview with 'Sounds' magazine (Feb23, 1974) Robin was asked how he and Reg initially met:

"Reggie was the first drummer we auditioned - just one of those things really. Me and Jimmy were working together for about six weeks on material, and ideas on what we wanted the band to be like, and we said, well, we better think about getting a drummer, and Jimmy phoned Zoot Money, and Zoot suggested Reggie. Reggie came down for a jam and we played together for about ten minutes, and I said right, that's it, you're in, like it or not!"

The first real Robin Trower Band came about after the breakup of Jude.

This band consisted of Robin Trower, Jimmy Dewar and drummer Reg Isadore. The band formed in December of 1972 and played their first show in Vienna, Austria in February of 1973.
