Moore has also led his own bands, among them, from 1969-74, Hackensack, which included guitarist Ray Majors, bass player Stu Mills and drummer Simon Fox. From 1992-2001, Moore led his Blues Corporation. His sidemen in this group included guitarists Nigel Bagge, Tommy Allen, Richard Studholme, Daniel J.
