Although Wigwam were a beloved band for Pembroke, he had no chance to fully realise all his ideas when recording in a band context. During the Wigwam years Pembroke released three solo albums, the first one, Wicked Ivory, being released under the pseudonym Hot Thumbs O'Riley in summer 1972. Using a pseudonym gave the sense of freedom Pembroke felt he needed in order to achieve this versatile work. ("Hot Thumbs" comes from Pembroke's piano technique which he then thought was defective). Wicked Ivory features Wigwam members Ronnie Österberg, Mats Hulden, Pekka Pohjola, Måns Groundstroem and Jukka Gustavson as the backing-group. The album is like a live broadcast from some club with announcer and murmur of voices, each piece being sung by an extraordinary character but all performed by Pembroke.
