You knew Andy Russell? I played drums with him in The Atlantics. His mother used to manage the band. A formidable lady was Mrs Russell. There's a photo of him somewhere on here.

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s

I knew Pop very well, he came down to London around 1972 and came to a few gigs that I was doing. I couldn't really say what he was up to, not on this site. Suffice to say he was quite a character!...

Hi Atarah,
Sorry, but I've never heard of Dr Marigolds Prescription, what year are we talking about roughly? I left Accy in 1969, if it was after that I wouldn't know them. Cheers, Jim.
