We were a 4/5 piece group from South Manchester, and played local pubs, and clubs including St. Kentigern's, St. Bernadette's, The Forty Thieves, The Carina Club, The GPO Club (Manchester), The Princess Theatre Club (Chorlton), The Oasis, The Twisted Wheel (Brazennose Street), Seven Stars (Heywood).

Our repertoire was heavily Beatles, and Rolling Stones, plus blues covers such as Muddy Waters, etc., with Rob on “gob iron”.

Most gigs paid about £8 - £10. Can remember Adge, our "road manager" saying, after playing The Astoria Ballroom, Oldham: "Hey, £12 – that's two dabs each" – probably the most we were ever paid.

When we first started, Rob, our singer, was a plumber “by day”, and his first mike stand was made from copper pipe, with a couple of tricky bends at the bottom for the "base".

That Selmer “Treble and Bass Amp” never did cut it; but it was all we could afford in those days.

Hope you are all keeping well. I remember you well, especially Tony! Are you still playing?

Re-Union

The original 4 members met up on Saturday (28/03/15) for the first time since the 60s. It wasn't a band re-union as such, just a meet up. I had a gig with my current band, The Cadillacs (https://www.facebook.com/CadillacsUK), in Cheadle Hulme (Cheshire), and the other 3 came to watch.

The picture in the gallery shows Peter (Bass), Tony (Guitar), Rob (Singer), and Kevin (Drums).
