“Eeek !....didn't expect you on here, Martin.
Derek is living in Macclesfield at the moment and I'm sure would like to get back in touch with you. Up until recently he was teaching the drums and guitar (not at the same time) and hopes to pick up that particular thread pretty soon.
Let me know if you'd like his number.
.....oh and Derby is overrated anyway - I'm sure you didn't miss much !
“My mate (Derek Butler) was the final drummer with Vee VV before they split in 88/89, though he and Martin Reynolds recorded some funky stuff a few years later that my mate reckons was the best thing they ever did.
I spoke with John Robb acouple of years ago who confirmed Martin was now a teacher (in Derby ?) and that Mark Ormrod had returned to Blackpool.
Yes, The Stone Roses supported Vee VV in Warrington under the alias of The Lightblulbs (or something like that).
....and on a final note the International 1 was definitely the best venue in Manchester to go and see a band. Some great gigs there like REM, Husker Du, The Pale Fountains, World Of Twist and The Go Betweens.......aaah, memories !!”
Yes I am and yes he would be.
