I used to be the keyboard player. Phil Walsh played drums, the singer's name escapes me. We practiced in a pup in Marple? Hell my memory is crap........but it is 40 years ago. Not sure if my brother played bass?

My very good pal Kevin Seisey was the singer, and the were from Rosehill in Marple. They used to rehearse in a little stone building that Marple Brass band used next to the Navigation pub on Stockport road.

Kevin was to appear later on the tv program O.T.T. with all the old members of Tiswas.

Sad Soul! The line up you have here must be a later one.

The rehearsal place was the Marple Brass Band building. I lived in Bramhall, next door to their drummer Dennis Brennan - a Who fan, who was a hairdresser.

I used to go out "on the road" with them around Manchester - Sloopy's, Warmingham Grange, Top Ten, Belle Vue, the Tabernacle in Stockport, various youth clubs in Stockport and also a place - I think a bar in Hyde.

This would be about 1967-68. They had a bass player at one time called Tony at one time (can't recall his surname but he was a big guy who would open the show with James Brown's 'I Feel Good' who designed the band's logo; there was also sax player who sometimes played - a genuine US black guy called Bo who lived in Hyde or Denton. Various organists came and went - I think they tried to tempt Geoff Downes who live on our estate at one point.
