“The Tunnel Frenzies...Simon Hayden on drums?”

“Not sure of Simon's second name but most probably the one you know. Simon stood in for our drummer maybe twice but we played with the Frenzies around that time usually at the Swinging Sporran and practiced next door to them at the Beehive. Ash was our bass player another Frenzy!”

“I worked with Gary Foy , singer with Tunnel Frenzies in Whitworth St Manchester from 89 to about 97 with his brother Steve. I did a rehearsal with Gary, Jason Robards (?) On bass and another guy at The Boardwalk rehearsal rooms, must have been 91?. Ive still got their 12" EP. Believe it or not, I sold a smoky chrome Pearl export kit in 89 and it turned up at those rehearsal rooms, it still had my initials inside the bass drum!. We worked a minute walk from The Swinging sporran and I played there in the infamous gig in 89 drumming for Victory Mansions. I think Gary is living in Wigan now. Happy days, RIP Boardwalk and Thr Lamplighter, is this the same club as the lamplight, the former was next to the gas works opposite Rochdale college”
