Freeway – A few bands called Freeway. Anyone remember this one from 1972? Joe Milligan, Clive Pearson, Mick Bradley, Dave Greenfield, Tony Savva and Tim Raven.

Janine Anne Hemsley… I wander where they all are now ?

Andy Gunton… Is that the Dave Greenfield who went on to be part of The Stranglers? It sure looks like him.

Colin Norton… Yes, that is the very same Dave ‘Stranglers’ Greenfield.

Pete Shaw… Helen Savva? Your brother?

Dave Greenfield’s pre stranglers bubblegum single… in 1975. I have not yet managed to hear the pre-Stranglers groups the Initials (pictured below), Freeway or Credo, but Greenfield’s old prog band Rusty Butler, whose name suggests a particularly arcane. https://strenglers.wordpress.com/2019/06/09/dave-greenfields-pre-stranglers-bubblegum-single/

Colin Norton… It was also pre-Rusty Butler

Harry Randall… Whatever happened to Ron Milligan?

Tim Moose Bruce… Went to a jam night party at 6 Bells at Chiddingly about 10 years ago. Dave Greenfield was there. A load of us with guitars playing different stuff, and we got Dave up on the keys and we did a version of Golden Brown. Great night.

Scoobi Doo… My dad Joe Milligan passed in 2002 and uncle Ron in 2020

Kim Patricia… I so so wish that we could turn back time soo,just to enjoy his stories once again xx

Harry Randall… Scoobi, I was in your Dads band with Ron and Clive in 1967-1968 ” The Lloyd Milligan Sound” an 8 piece Soul Band I was lead vocalist. Went to Keele in Germany but didn’t wait for contract got diddled and ended up just missing a slot at the famous “Star Club” eventually got back to Ostend totally skint sharing a loaf of Rye bread between 8 of us luckily our manager Bill (from 58 club) paid our fare back and we had to race to the Townsend Thorsen ferry to get back they even waited for us!

Scoobi Doo… Wow. Do you remember the white label single my dad had produced? I would love to see a video if there is one available, you were all quite famous. I remember Tony Bird and Clive, Jim, did Tony drive a lotus elise?

Paul Coleman…Yes. Tony did drive a lotus. Red. I think it was fibreglass if i remember right.
