But as we all got older it didn't seem to matter too much.You should find Wammy playing five nights a week at "The Rock Palace", it's on the front.There are a few ads around as well, I'm sure you'll find him! I've attached a couple of photos' when we were living at The Watermill Theatre, one of me and Dave Foster, and one of Wammy (it is Wammy, it's me , I keep spelling it wrong), on their way to a rehearsal which was 2 minutes walk! Hope you have a good time, and give Dave a big hug for me.I haven't seen him for nearly 40 years.Best wishes,Jim.

Hiya Jim. Even more photos, you must have loads - keep em comin'. I envy your time down at the Watermill, sounds like every bands' dream. I first met the Warriors about '58 when I was 8, Jon and Tony's sister used to babysit for me and our kid who was 3 at the time, pity he wasn't a bit older I could have done with his harmonies in the 60's, but when we started at 13/14 he was only 8, pretty inconsiderate of my mum and dad, i thought! Like you say Jim, as you get older the age difference doesn't matter anymore. Anyway thanks for the info on Wammy, I'll see if I can catch up with him. We are south of Alicante, but I've just booked a night in Beni' at the end of August, fingers crossed. All the best Tony.
