We played a few gigs with Tiger Fog.

We got to know them through Paul, our bass player, who knew Neil who was from Chadderton, just off Broadway.

We went to see them at the outdoor gig pictured above.  They where a really good solid band and we where very impressed.  After the gig we had a few slurps at Harry the Fwurks flat.

Harry was totaly off his cake but a good host and great entertainment. 

Next thing we knew they were moving to Australia  - all the band, lock stock and empty barrel, I don't think they took Harry (well, you wouldn't, would you?). 

The next time I saw them was when I was waching Bluey, the Australian cop series and there they were, playing at the back of Bluey and still sounding good.  (For more info, look at the Chalice page)

It was a pleasure to have known them and didn't they do well.

Tiger Fog reunion
October 2004

A very boozey Friday night at a pub in Didsbury.

Geoff Whitehead organised the night, giving visiting Aussie, Neil Scott, the opportunity to catch up with Geoff and band-membersTrev Morgan and John Greatbanks.

Unfortunately, they were missing George Heathcote, who lives in Sydney.

Neil had dinner at Alma Lodge and couldn't get over was how small the club area was - he always remembered a much larger venue!

Fantastic! Mike Lynch told me about m\c beat.

Used to roady for Tiger Fog round m\c before they went to Aussie.  Lived down the road from George. Very sad to hear of his passing. Thoughts to Charlie and Margaret.

I have some great tapes of Tiger Fog and Chalice before they moved to Aussie. Wish I'd known the reunion was on.

I idolised Neal. watched him every gig playing his Grimshaw Les Paul Crossroads, Suite Judy Blue Eyes, the Who, etc. He was brilliant.

I'm still playing now and indebted to Neal's guidance. Great to find this info on the web.

Great to happen on this website by chance.  I went to university with Neil & was a good buddie.  I went to see Tiger Fog several times - once at Owens Park - I think I might even have an old tape of it somewhere.  I also watched them rehearse several times - in an old scout hut in Chadderton I think.  Neil came to my wedding in 1972 but I don't think I've seen him since those days.
