who remembers this group from the Con (monday nights) just been playing I Go Ape by Reverand Black and the Rocking Vickers, probably one of the best local bands of that era, they were banned from the con for stripping off to the waist,shock horror pmsl, also banned from TV because they wore dog-collars (hence the name) which i thought was a great shame, top rate group that shoulda/ woulda made it i believe without their attire. think they originated from the burnley area, also heard the drummer sadly died young.seem to remember the guy was a second man for east lancs carriers. anybody got any info/history on the group?
