Re: Good times in Accrington
We all seem to have dads who played in local bands including mine Fred Rooks who played double bass,he also played violin in St.Paul's orchestra.He seemed to play freelance or when asked but I know he played with Eddie M'cGarry at the Con.and Syd Ashmead at the Ritz and with the resident band at the Ambulance drill hall on Bull Bridge for old time dancing.There were two other bands he played for and does anyone have any information on them.They were Jonny Hodges and J.A.Sunderland.I have attached photos of these two.
