The Mirage is a late 1960s psychedelic pop band from London, England. They released seven singles in the UK.[1]
Their most notable release was their 1967 single, "The Wedding of Ramona Blair".[1] The Mirage were under contract as house band to Dick James Publishing and backed Elton John at some of his early concerts.[1] Bassist Dee Murray later worked Elton John's band.
Dave Hynes and Murray replaced Pete York and Eddie Hardin in The Spencer Davis Group in October 1968.[2] Hynes and other members of the Mirage formed the Portobello Explosion.[1] That band then changed into the equally no-commercial Jawbone.[1]
