I AGREE. We have lost a few recently,we have helped a few lately,on this scene someone will be there for you,just make sure your there for them,that way everybody will be just fine.

A lesson can be learnt for everybody here,my hat comes off to you Pete for starting this.I dont know Fingers that well by anymeans but for the cause and thru Nicola i hoped weve also helped in a small way.Is'nt nice to help somone.We like that feeling,you just never know whats round the corner,it could be any one of us one day thats down on our luck.Keep your chin up Mr Fingers. many kind regards Gilly and Nicola

The girl with the blond hair holding cigarette upwards is Caraline from Ashby de a Zouch,her sister is with Derick Mead see you both at the wedding regards Gilly and Nicola

I remember buying 2 coppies of the Blue Jays from Hurts Yard a long time ago 35p each. regards Gilly and Nicola

No i havnt a clue who that might be,its raw and unfinished,proberly a tester so as to get a feel for the song so when all the people on that session they will have an idea of the songs drection. What do i think of it,its brill,sweet simple and oh so nice. regards Gilly and Nicola

Oh yes i remember well,and yes i still have that bag,in fact i'm just parceling it up for Kieth Rylets book,he may use it along with some other items.ps Eddie what with me starving you of sleep you still look ever so young(but not as young as me)smile regards Gilly and Nicola

Hi Dave,you might remember that Popcorn sent me a copy of Larry Wright thru the post in oct 84 i lent it Guy who played the other side "its ok with me"better tempo for our days,i even remember Guy saying over the mic christmas has come early for Gilly(it was now into mid november) regards Gilly and Nicola

Jack Bollinton(borrinton) was a bit of a lad,i was walking round Derby with him once and Tim Finch,we went in a second hand shop Jack saw this tie he liked priced up at 10p he pinched it! regards Gilly and Nicola

Yes i do mate Gilly and Nicola

Thanks Steve,hav'nt seen Micky for a long time,he was going to the 100 club a few years back.Last time i remember was when i was invited to DJ at the mothers birthday/and what was her wedding anniversary regards Gilly and Nicola

I used to find although Coddy looked propper evil and i take nothing away from his abilities,if he had a liking for you he was bang on,if he did'nt like you it would be bang on regards Gilly and Nicola

What i could never understand was why did Harry Green spend so much time shouting "no pushing at the back"if he opened the f&&kin door there would'nt have been any pushing at the back thick bast$d regards Gilly and Nicola

Hi Murial Day was descovered by Philip (Pip) Smith from Shrewsbury,picked it up when in Ireland. I remember i used to tell him he should'nt brag about that too much regards Gilly and Nicola

Hi Harry, saw Ronnie not long ago (BLESS HIM) as far as i know he still has everything,great guy mad as a wasp Gilly and Nicola

Yea i had the Ben Aiken on WB

I think Dean Anderson may of discovered Ill Keep Holding On but i remember owning 2 of them at the same time, that was before anyone knew it. regards Gilly and Nicola

Yes i agree with you there Dave,in some cases i took it a bit further. Titles such as Unsatisfied/Magic Potion/Our Love/Open The Door i had on all of the US labels,the Quality releases and the British demos +ep of course What a sad twat. If you want to talk about Canadian stuff Ron Pedley from York will enlighten a lot of us regards Gilly and Nicola

I would have to agree with your choices but with an addition and that would be Tim Ashibende.(hope iv'e spelt that right) most of Gary Rushbrooks came thru Tim(a bit of a dark horse you may say)smile. Lets not foget Dave Raistrick and Arthur Fenn when they were kicking it around too. regards Gilly and Nicola.

Hi, i dont know how rare it is or indeed what their full catalogue was but i'll list the two i have seen The Stienways Youve Been Leading Me On.(that was a black and pink label) this one i once owned. 2 the other week i got a Tams Hey Girl Dont Bother Me. from Pete Gent to give as a 50 birthday present for my very old friend Kev from Burton on Trent thanks Gilly and Nicola

Well Dave you know my thoughts on this matter,as i said a couple of years ago my theory is The Sequins(Detroit ones) had three members, i have an original promo photo that Dave Hamilton gave me of the girls,on that same trip i was lucky enough to go round Duke Browners house, he didnt give up alot of imformation but i did get three records from him,one of these was the Sequins 45 Try My Love. At the time it didnt make complete sense but as time moved on having looked at a picture of the Lollipps (4 members) 3 of them look like the girls in the Sequins photo. What i think may of happend is Duke signed the 3 girls added a member and called them The Lollipops.This would in part explain why Duke had the Try My Love 45. This i know does'nt answer the original question (surfice to say people do change) but from what Tim told me years ago having met her non of the girls in either photo match the description of Gardinia Barnes. regards Gilly and Nicola

OK Rob your the man on this one so i'll have to put my hands up.I Don't remember where the 1967 imfo came from but thats how i've always understood it thanks mate oh and my mum says hi regards Gilly and Nicola

Some years ago i spoke to a Sherwood Pee who was living in Flint Mi and he told me he was a member of the 4 Gents Oncore and they later changed their name to the 4Voices! Also whilst looking at the blog theres a picture of the Magnetics acredited with the song The Train on Allrite records, it doesnt list Tony Johnson who was the lead singer at the time however the guy on the right looks very much like him. So now i'm cofused as well regards Gilly and Nicola

I used to have a Lupine (or was it Lupin) copy it had '' Things will be better tomorrow '' on the other side,i think i'm gonna have to pull you on the date 1967? kind regards Gilly Nicola
