This picture shows the band in 1962 at The Maypole Hotel, Pendleton, Salford where they played three nights a week.

The lady was a staff member at the Maypole (probably barmaid and not a go-go dancer).

Memories

"The Stylos I saw at many places but mainly remember them from a little club called The Academy on the old Broad St. in Pendleton, Salford.

Their record was "Head over Heels" on Liberty records 10173. They were very much an R & B group."

Carol Chapple

The Salford Jets used to rehearse in Tony Lowe`s carpet warehouse, Bury, many years ago." Head over Heels" is still one of the best examples of M/cr RnB ever!

Diccon Hubbard (Salford jets, Wayne Fontana, etc)

In 1963, having ambitions greater than my experience I promoted a rock night at a club on Stanley Grove in Longsight with the Stylos headlining.

The evening was a complete disaster, but the Stylos were fantastic. I particularly remember their rendition of the Coaster's number Young Blood.

Phillip Morris

I was lead guitar for a couple of years with The Stylos, after Mike left to go to college. We played at the Maypole Hotel (Pendleton) and then the Fusiliers.

In my time we did all the Shadows and Cliff R stuff and then came the Beatles etc. I left when the group went full-time professional. I was the only one married, the only one with a mortgage and a half-decent job, and my wife was expecting our first child. Great memories though of some unbelievable nights. At the Fusiliers - at the height of the 'Merseybeat' era we had two coachloads of Scouse fans came every Saturday night! Hope the Lowe brothers are are well.

Kevin Murphy

I remember playing at the Fusiliers on Cross Lane, there were two rooms. On a Saturday night the Stylos played in the main room, and I played in the smaller room with The Federals. Must have been mayhem standing at the bar between the two rooms!

Chris Evans

The Stylos were one of my favourite bands in the early 60s and performed regularly at 'Pearl Pailings', Princess Street in Halifax.

Colin Wadsworth

I was the lead guitar and blues harp player on Head Over Heels. These days I live in Perth Australia. Three of the former band, myself, John Lowe and Tony Lowe have had a couple of reunions in Manchester which I really enjoyed. We even went back to the Fusiliers in Salford. There are photographs if anybody is interested.

Happy days in our youth.
