I remember or have "heard of" most of them lads Bicky....I reckon they were a few years older than myself...I didn't have Vito and Isaac marked down as mod dudes:D
 
Bicky, his bro, Jimmy Lightbown and Al Gilmartin were the mod dudes. Isaac, Florrie, Vito, Dave Tunny and co were more yer "bohemian" types! :cool:
 
saw lots of good early bands up yhe Astoria..Rawtenstall
Fontella Bass The Kinks Pretty Things

happy memories
 
Tony Palmer is still in Great Harwood. (If it isn't Tony it is his brother David.)I know his daughter and son-in-law, his daughter has not long since had her 2nd child.


I knew Tony and his wife Pauline back in the Late 70´s. He worked with my dad (Dougy Jackson) at Blackburn Group Training centre - teaching the young apprentices engineering. Nice guy.....
 
I remember Tom Robinson from way back, if it's the same Tom that was in a band years ago. Le Faulves. Please ask, silly name but they were ok. I think a guy called Rufus was also involved. Did a couple of gigs at Accy jaz club. Way back.
 
Florrie was a one and only, i dated him from being 14/17. He was a brilliant drummer and sang a mean Roll over Bethoven??. (can't spell) He was a really sweet guy

Remember both Tom and Rufus, Toms Dad used to be a goalkeeper played for Manchester City another name that springs to mind from the era was Tony Jenkinson Jinks to his mates
 
Florrie was (and I would imagine, still is) a great bloke. Remember sitting on the deck as a naive 16-year old in 1967. Florrie (along with Isaac) tipped me off to loads of great blues artists like Junior Wells, Elmore James and Albert King...people who I still like to this day. An excellent musical education!
