“I suppose no band archive would be complete without everything. Remember Dave Arnold met a club drummer while he was working part time at The Hare & Hounds pub in Holcombe Brook, probably while in his last weeks in 6th form. At that time the band was without a drummer with a gig at Tottington Conservative Club coming up? This was very early days, around 1974. The club drummer joined a single short practice session at a house in Tottington before joining the band for the gig - which, shall we say, on the night didn’t turn out as well as it could have done, and was their one and only together as a result. This was probably due to the drummer only having (several years) experience of accompanying dowdy Hammond organ around the local clubs. His kit was a little antiquated too and he was dropped in the deep end with a fabulous up and coming group performing all the rock n roll era hits. That drummer would be me :-)”
