Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Looking at some of these photo's from the old days, reminded me of the good old Vox AC30 amps, what a great machine in their day, was watching some group on Sky Arts the other week, recorded quite recently and they had a bank of what looked like AC30s. And I bet you can all remember the good old Watkins Copy Cat echo chamber, which were great until the bloody tape broke:D

Hi Dublomad,I can't remember if The Scorchers or The Gids ever played at Nelson Imp and neither Trevor nor myself can remember when we split up.I do know that in 1968/69 I was playing in a few bands from Burnley like The Atlantics, Kudos, The Reflections etc trying to make some extra money.I played at Nelson Imp many times with some of those bands, which in some cases only lasted a few months.There were loads of us, So on and So Forth, Ways N' Means, The Uptown Go Go Band, The Raging Storms, supporting The Troggs, Manfred Man, Love Affair, Robert Plant's Band of Joy (the first time I saw John Bonham), and a few more.I've attached a photo of The Atlantics.The guy 2 nd from the left (Pete Sowrey) actually played with Accrington Stanley for a very short time.We also played at Manchester University a lot, it was great money, getting £30 for supporting Chicken Shack wasn't bad in 1969, we also supported The Who there a few weeks later for the same money.As you can see from the ad, you could see Pink Floyd or The Who and many more for 7/6d! Hope that helps,James.

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Jim, talking of The Atlantics I wonder what happened to the bass player Andy?

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Hi Trev,I don't know what happened to Andy Russell.John, the guitarist (on the left) got married to a girl he met when we were playing the Excel Bowl in Leeds, Colin Edmondson, the singer in the middle died when he was around 50, and, as you know, Pete played with Accy Stan for a short time (5/7 weeks?).
