Another wonderful afternoon and among the newbies this time were John Kingdon, Pete Horton, Ian Williams, Paul Dove, Jeanette Jones, Martin Stoggell & Judy Sillem. John Kingdon was kind enough to bring along some reel to reel tapes to pass on to Andy Clarke for his recent appeal. He also had with him a very impressive Bruce Springsteen box set and a Beatles cd set in a radio presentation box. Eric Cawthraw brought along an early Blue Oyster Cult tour programme with Japan in support. Colin Bell has found autographs of The Move and others. Paul Dove had with him some very early posters of Muller, Candy Stripe & Judas. More great photos from Peter Millington including Henry Harvey, The Talismen and The Scratchers. Leaflets for The Beatles Day in April were handed out and chat was about Freeway, The Humperdinks, Factory reunion, Highway, Deep Purple, Hastings Town mag, Caves gigs, Vox amps ,the Hastings wah wah pedal, The Likes Of Us, King Rod, Hastings Folk Fest & Gordon Ryder . Andre Martin mentioned the forthcoming weekend of Music Talks at The Hub 28th & 29th March including Archie Lauchlan’s preview of his soon to be released documentary on bands on the pier, the launch of a new book on Jimi Hendrix and back by popular demand Andre’s The Happy Ballroom Talk. More details will be posted here shortly. Also look out for some more Beez Neez postings from Mick O’Dowd. This is just a small part of what I can remember, anyone else want to post what they were chatting about then feel free to do so.
