“This shot is taken at the rehearsal space in the loft at the 'lads' club, opposite the college. This line up is with a fantastic guitarist called 'Sammy', he had a great rock/jazz style. Steve Cooke was on bass and myself on drums...I have a rehearsal tape from this.
For anyone interested the kit here is a 4 peice, blue sparkle 'Premier'.
As for the jumper...well...apologies, not really 'rock!' was it...bloody cold in there though.
“A great shot and one which I treasure. We had finished rehearsing and had crossed the road from opposite the College on Beaufort road, Ashton. I was putting away my drumkey when the pic was taken. I had just taken delivery of a new kit. We were off to the 'Spread' to celebrate! Hostage were known for wearing 'bush'hats...I rarely wore one...kind of like ZZ Top and drummer Frank Beard..who doesn't have a beard!
I am blessed knowing that I was able to play with 2 of the finest musicians in the area, who allowed me to explore the drums and develop my art.
For anyone interested the kit here is a 4 peice, blue sparkle 'Premier'.
As for the jumper...well...apologies, not really 'rock!' was it...bloody cold in there though.
And the Motorhead job...now there's a story.”
