Gomm's recording debut with Brinsley Schwarz,
Nervous on the Road, was one of the group's best albums and featured one of Gomm's strongest songs, "It's Been So Long." He stayed with the band until the group folded in 1975. Gomm then moved to Wales, where he built his own studio and recorded sessions by the Stranglers, Amon Düül, and Alexis Korner. He also worked on his own material and signed to Albion, who released his solo debut,
Summer Holiday, in 1978. The following year, Stiff/Epic issued the album as
Gomm with the Wind in America, where the single "Hold On" reached number 12 in the Hot 100 and led to a gig supporting Dire Straits on their Sultans of Swing tour. Subsequent solo albums included
What a Blow,
The Village Voice (which included "Louise," a song that became Phil Everly's first solo hit) and 1986's
Images, his final release of the '80s. Gomm spent the rest of the decade building a new studio, Mountain Sound, and writing more songs. Producing and engineering also kept him busy until 1997, when he released
Crazy for You, and
Rock'n'Roll Heart (2002).(
