Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s

I found the site one day by typing "Scorchers" in to google and it led me to the Accy web. Yesterday I was listening to a program on Radio Lancs re Nelson Imperial that a friend down in Clitheroe told me about. That led me to look again at the Accy site and what did I find, you and Jim having a long conversation about our youth, amazing coincidence. What guitar do you use these days? Wonderful thing the chat forum, great we are all still in good form. Cheers Ian |

That is a fine sounding collection, a pity about the Vox, yours was a "Top Boost" version if I remember rightly and they are pretty rare. Is Dave still in the resturant business down in Stratford ? Speak soon. Cheers Ian |

Hi Trevor, Thanks for this photo, I did laugh.If you look closely at my eyes, I appear to have gone blind, was it the sight of all those girls in swimsuits?

I do remember seeing Streetfighter. The name John Sykes rings a bell too. That other band I mentioned 'Forever' did a lot of Doobie Brothers stuff and old Stax / Atlantic covers. The lead vocalist Sean was a window cleaner by day (I think). Shabby Tiger were another band that sometimes played the Regent on a Monday night. Everyone always made a big deal about them when they were on. I think it was because they'd had a couple of minor hits. I always preferred Forever and Thunderbird Sabden myself (no offence to the Shabby guys if you ever read this;-) |

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Hiya Blackburnlad, Yeh John Sykes has lived in the States long time now, I remember Tommy Vance interviewing him when he had a Saturday afternoon rock programme on Radio 1,so thats a long time ago. I know Sean,I used to give him a lift home from the Regent ,had a jam with him a couple of months ago,very talented lad! Lost touch with Merv, last time I spoke to him he was in a tribute band playing Australian pub's in London. Trev.

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Hiya J, I think I only saw" Tiger "once in the Regent, Hendy was the singer and the lead guitarist in that line-up was Dave Almond,he came from Burnley and had previously been in a band called the Reflection's who the Gideon's had played together with in the 60's,I mean together at the same time=2drummer's. 2lead guitarist's etc. sounded a bit jumbled if you know what I mean, don't remember who came up with that idea!!!!!

On the photo of you lads (God you were lads too - really young) in Liverpool, there's one of you carrying the V front Dom. I only saw it after I had left the previous comment. I have an old V front Dom myself, picked it up a couple of years ago, works fine, but sadly has been re-covered at some time. Did a cracking job though, whoever re-covered it. |

Zanzibar were another band that had a residency at The Regent for a while as well. I'd better shut up about the Regent, this is an Accy site after all. I saw a few bands at The Albion in Clayton (he said, tactfully diverting the conversation) in the early - mid 70's too, but can't really recall any names. |
