Illya

Nah still can't spot him lol

Didn't do photo's in them days as you mostly on the run from someone or other be it the old bill or an ex and you could blend away with out name to face, that was the idea, you don't see many pictures of me back then or today

Larry Lambretta revisiting my youth, I was MC that night using that name to introduce the bands on stage as well as DJ with Chris Holmes Yep I remember introducing the Killometers VIC Vespa, AKA VIC Vomit in another life. CO2, or Checkmates local York band average age must have been around 16 but they were tight and good band.The eldest brother of the lead singer of the Checkmates was on the Scene John Jones. I remember at the end of that night, it ended up with a fight and I had a box of records pinched. THE SCENE were managed by my mate, Rodjer Young who also promoted the night who ended making a loss after the damage caused but a great night

One of my photo's which I am proud of but no where near Brian's quality Love Brian's photo's, The use of light and shadows brings a new dimension to this art form never scene before on this subject, it's a shame some of the grainy 70's photo's can't be edited to get the same feeling as Brian gets. Respect to you Brain and keep up the good work

To Av, family and friends, Please accept our sincere condolences on a very sad day. I have some fond memories of Pete especially when he DJ'ed at my Charity event in Tadcaster and gave us his history lesson in Ska music, and it was Pete that got me on to several good tune's Little Richard "Get Down Get with it" for one. Cheers mate you will be sadly missed by us. RIP Andy & Mel
