“I read your comment about Richards guitar, yes you're right, he loved that thing, and it was indeed unique,and when he played it, it was absolutely mind blowing stuff, gawd ! he sure could play, and apparently still does....would love to hear him again. We have a great guitarist here in Oz, his name is Tommy Emmanuel, he reminds me very much of Richards style and talent.
As I've told John, I am on facebook if you want to find me, I'm under Lorna Helby nee Cameron, sorry John, I forgot to mention that in my last post to you :-)
“Greetings to you John, my goodness it's great to hear from you, where do you live now? and are you near your brother Richard? I would really love to catch up with you both when I come over this year and we can talk about the fun times !!!!!!!!!! I am on Facebook if you want to get in touch with me...I would love to hear from you.
“Hi there Allan, did we meet at all ? We "The Jacobeats " played quite a lot at Elgin, our agent was Mr Bonici and we always played at "The Two Red Shoes"ballroom.....
Last week I found a photo of "The Cresters" with all four of them, they were GREAT ! and we always looked forward their tours up North, I will upload the photo in the next few days.
I,m hoping to be over there this Aug/Sept, and trying to catch up with Johnnie, we write to one another quite often, I missed him last year but hope to have better luck this year.
“greetings from Australia. I totally agree with the statement made by Alan Charles with regard to the pictured group (Malcolm Clarke and The Cresters), my sister and I were part of a Scottish group "The Jacobeats" during the 60's, we toured with lots of famous 60's bands ie...Hollies,The Kinks,Dave berry etc to name a few, but the above group left some of them dead in the water with regard to musical skills, not only that but most importantly, they were just a really nice group of men who loved their music.
Where are they now I wonder ??
