This site wouldn't be complete without a picture of "Whammy", so here he is.The photo was taken at The Watermill Theatre in Bagnor, a hamlet near Newbury, one pub, no shops, the bus came once a week, seriously isolated.We lived/rehearsed there for about 5 months.He was playing with Accrington Stanley at the time.I think this band must hold some kind of record for having the most guitarists in the shortest time.The band only lasted 6/7 months, and yet, we had on lead guitar (not all at once) , Trevor Gardener, Rod Hill, Whammy,John Hedley (from Brian Davidsons band, ex The Nice), and finally Roger Mckew (ex Bonzo Dog ).I think that there were only two of us left eventually, Dave Foster, and me.Whammy also sent me a copy of his "new" album which you can also see.Most people in/around Accy will remember Dave.On the Accy Stan photo, left to right, Rod Hill, Jim Payne, Brian Johnstone, Dave Foster, and Whammy.Cheers, James
