I wanted to be different and stand out so I wore a blue striped shirt whilst the rest of the band wore red striped shirts. Cool idea or what? lol

Hi Rob. I vaguely remember you from early 70's. One of my mates from my schooldays, Banny had a drum kit. He lived on Walpole Avenue. I remember having a bash on his drums but I was useless! Do you remember him?

Hi Rob.
Ive never seen Banny since we left Whitley High school, 1975.
He was a great, popular lad.
Another name springs to mind with Bannys drums, band,etc was another guitarist. His surname was Meehan. I cant remember his forename though. I was only young at the time, same age as Banny!

I

Hi Billy, how are you. What u up to these days. Remember practices at St Judes and gigging at Worsley Mesnes Club at the tender age 14 or 15. Pity there are no pics of that.

remember it well- you asking Father Tobin who does he think he is when he told us to stop practising - we didn't use St Judes any more after that!
Other memories include you telling drummer and organist at Worsley Mesnes they were out of time, bumping your dad's robin reliant (no insurance or licence!), mouth hanger at Half Way House and many others - happy days!
