hello folks! just looking around on here after speaking to my mum earlier. My dad was in a band called Happy Medium around in the late 60's/early 70's, anyone remember them?

Is you father called Andy, Laura:confused:

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
 

Yes, he is! :) do you remember him?

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
 

Give the reprobate my regards next time you see him,:D just tell him you've been talking to John Farrer. We used to move around in the same circles in our teens, quite a long time ago now:eek:

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
 

Will do! I work with him at the family business, let me know if you've got any stories i can use against him! My mum (Yvonne, you might know her), has tried to call Gordon Holmes as she think he has some of their old material and i'd love to have a listen!

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
 

I think they may have been around in the same period as this group of youngsters, probably all under 15 at the time...

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
 

Thinking about it, I think this more likely to be sometime around 1967?

Billy Binks and Jeff Whiteside, I worked with them at HP Calverts builders, Back Burnley Rd Clayton. Had a site on Roman Rd in Darren, on the Moors, bluddy cold up there in Winter. John Wiora from The Treadwheels and so on was the apprentice plumber there. And Alan Bradshaw from The Nosmo Kings was apprentice bricklayer. Whoopee them were the days.
