Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Hi All, Haven't been on for ages, as we have had a serious illness in the band. However the New Soundcasters are now officially back on the road and have been joined by Trevor Gardner on lead guitar, so it's now a Soundcaster/Scorchers joint effort. If anyone is doing nothing next Saturday night 13th August then you can catch us at Baxenden Con Club. Usually kicks off around 10.00 till late. Even if you don't think much of the band there are usually some 60's people around to catch up with. All welcome. Tony

Good Link that Cashy, Hendy's first band was called Dream Factory & then he went on to form a couple of others, most notably Shabby Tiger. More recently in Benidorm he was in an Eagles Tribute as well as still doing his Comedy/Vocal show under the name Cheroot.
I went to his Funeral today & there was a great turn out for him & not everyone could get into the Crematorium. There were even some who had flown over from Benidorm too. Best regards - Taggy |

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Wow what a trip down memory lane today. It started when I saw a painting of Nelson Imp. I used to go there in 67/68. I remember The Atlantics well as I went out with Andy Russell a few times and got to meet loads of groups.

You knew Andy Russell? I played drums with him in The Atlantics. His mother used to manage the band. A formidable lady was Mrs Russell. There's a photo of him somewhere on here.

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Quite often look through this thread.
Nobody has mentioned "the rockets"!! Is it my memory playing tricks on me? Seem to remember them as a superb group that played at the Empire in Ossy when I was about 16 so say around 1960 |

Gordon Holmes didn't live on Hornby St but 2 other members did - Jack Groves and Frank Isherwood. Melvyn Mann lived nearby on Fielding Lane.
Frank played the tea chest, Jack sang, Gordon played guitar and Melvyn played a washboard. Skiffle was primitive but fun. |

I think they may have been around in the same period as this group of youngsters, probably all under 15 at the time...

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Thinking about it, I think this more likely to be sometime around 1967?

Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Oh WoW, I've just read this post from the beginning,, I've laughed and cried so many times, I know many of the names of these culprits, I think I might even be a distant relative of one of them.
I started out with Treadwheels, then I played with The Senators from Arrod, then The Mustangs from Darren, The Dolphins from Burnley (We pinched it from The Holly's when they changed their name) Then we got the residency at The Dolphin Club in Colne, which was held previously by The Holly's. Wow my brain hurts, after that I played with a comedy show band from Freckleton, Mynzapint. I now do an occasional gig solo doing all my own comedy material. Just before I left Thailand I did a spot for Peter Bowden of Bowden's pies Accrington. He has a restaurant/Bar in Nong Khai North Thailand. Anyone see Roy Taylor, give him my best. I will be speaking with Wammy on Facebook shortly, wait till I tell him about all this,if he doesn't already know. |
Re: ACCY POP GROUPS 1960s
Have been trying to catch Roy fer awhile now, will give him yer best if i collar him,;)

Jon Anderson & The Warriors 1960s
Jon Anderson &The Warriors beat group, remember them in the 1960s?
David Watkinson author of Yes: Perpetual Change and organiser of the Accrington Yes / Jon Anderson exhibition some 10 years ago is looking for help with memories, photos and memorabilia of the band from that time. They played around Lancashire, London and even Germany. The Warriors were a popular band at the time and are now remembered for producing the international rock band Yes front man Jon Anderson. Jon has had hits both with his solo work, Yes and Vangelis. David a former Boltonian is gathering information for a new book project. If you feel you may have anything to help, you can contact David by email :- [email protected] |
