"The original band were Ged Harrison, Geoff Foot, John Howarth, Dave Fallon, & John Mills.
Geoff Foot is now a member of Herman's Hermits & touring all over the world. Ged Harrison is a very successfull singer & songwriter in Germany.
I was a fan of the Chasers from their very first gig. Which was at The RAF CLUB in Weaste, Salford.
I still keep in touch with Geoff & Diccon who later joined the band. I have some wonderfull memories of the Sixties from when i used to follow the Chasers.
The photo of the Chasers taken at the Academy in Salford is in fact from the origional picture that I took in 1964 and of which I still treasure to this day". Lynda Mawdsley |
