Memories
I remember joining the Reg James Explosion in 1967. I replaced the drummer on the picture.
What a fab band that was, vocals, keyboard, 2 saxes guitar, bass and drums.
We were lucky enough to be support band to the likes of Pink Floyd, and my claim to fame was being on the same show as Stevie Wonder at Bellve Vue in 1967.
The lead singer Steve Pickering is now doing well as comedian Duddly Doolittle.
Keith Lock
They were a great band. The appeared a couple of times at THE ARK, a small soul club in Sheffield in the late sixties.
Mike Jackson
I saw the band at Belle Vue on the same bill as Stevie Wonder. Great gig, great band. I was working the coke bar upstairs in Top Ten!
