BRILL. I do recall the bloke on left in red shirt and also the blond in the middle and in both photos,but cant put a name to them.I remember seeing the blond girl there on several occasions

Hi Paul.Forgot to mention the night Roy Wood walked in to the Toddington complete with face paint and Chiefy stood up and in no uncertain terms,told him exactly what he thought of his music!!??!!
Hi Paul.I dont recall George at Bletsoe either-maybe wrong but cant recall him there.
It was the first niter that I got to under my own power and always took John and caroline over with me as well as gilly-girlfriend at the time.
We spent quite a few Sunday mornings at Toddington didnt we-with the usual crowd.Always remember you producing a copy of Honey Bee-Johnny Johnson -first time id heard it as it had only just come out-swiftly followed by a rendition of hawkwind and Silver Machine,a bit different but still a good sound!!
Good old Discatrons eh.
This was taken about 73 at The Black Horse.Girl on far right is Caroline(John Tappendens other half)Cant remember who the girl is that is talking to her but I know she died from an OD. Can anyone name the bloke who is standing to the right of Bob Cosby who DJd there along with John Turner?
Hi peggy.If you look back through the thread on page two,I have posted some photos.there is the bottom half of Noreen and Effna and several of Renna (everyone called her Cathy) taken at The Black Horse-Leighton Buzzard about 73. Her brother was killed in a head on with a bus on his way home from Shades.She was a friend of Caroline (John tappendens missus) We regularly ended up at their house on the way back from The Torch etc,in Castle St Bedford,along with Graham Crook who was Johns best buddy
hi Paul.great to meet up with you again at Wilby after all these years.Remember the Birds Nest well.It allways reminded me of dancing in a boxing ring!!!
Mark.
Hi Kev.I used to go to Wilby now and again-great atmospere,and Gibby and Mick although hardly ever mentioned (unless ive missed something) were a couple of the best DJs ive heard. Would have gone there more often but spent more time up north.
I was wondering if you remember a bloke called Paul Shears or as we used to call him-Shag.I think he was a regular there.It was with him that I went to the Wheel with for the first time-he now lives in Australia.
