Tim Disney was in many groups. This was his second after Twenty Per Cent.
All this information came from a website dedicated to the late Tim Disney that is no longer online. Here is the original text as I got it.:

Redhouse (1967-1969)
Mick Broughton, William Alan Clifton (‘Bill’), Tim Disney, John Bryant
Redhouse had been formed by William Alan Clifton, John Bryant and Mick Broughton and played initially as a trio. As William Alan Clifton recalls:
Redhouse 1968
‘We did our first gig as a trio at a friend’s Christmas party in December 1967. At this time I was attending Digby College of Further Education in Mapperley and became friends with Mick Snee who’d been at Mundella School. Mick told me about two friends of his who were good musicians. One was guitarist Tony Crosby. The other of course was Tim. Tim joined us and he was great, lifting us up a notch or two. We practised a few times at The Dog and Partridge pub through Tim’s connections.
Quite early on, Mick Broughton decided to leave, so Tim brought in his mate Tony Crosby. With the line-up from early 1968 we were actually quite good and did several gigs at the Milton’s Head, one at Digby College and one at Henry’s Blues House in Birmingham as a support to Gethsemane. That was in November 1968 and we got it through Tony’s friend, bass player Terry Poole who came on stage and jammed with us. The gig at Digby College was as a support to Ferris Wheel, featuring Marsha Hunt. Earlier in the year Tony and Raw Meat had been warm up for Cream at Nottingham Tech College. Tim, Mick and me were in the audience.’

A letter from John Bryant in the Melody Maker in 1968 agrees with Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) about the state of “blues” audiences at gigs.
1969
Ron Barrie must have been a front man for a stint, maybe after Tim Disney moved on, because Chris Allard of Hades recounts “We started out in 1967 as Diverse Union and were a bunch of fresh-faced youngsters. The arrival of Ron Barrie toughened us up – he had form! He was a Scottish blues/folk singer/songwriter from Glasgow and had come up through the school of hard knocks. Ron joined the band in 1969 having fronted a Nottingham blues band called “Red House” They were often to be heard at the Old Milton’s Head or the Imperial. Ron’s arrival prompted a name-change and Hades was born.”
