SMART 20 REPORT. Another great get together. Andre Martin popped in early, just to let us know he’s still got problems with telephone and internet connection but hopefully back on line next week. Among the newbies this time were Linda Day, Sylvia Sinden, Ted Adams, Rowena Wood, John Wilde, Mick Bolton, John Petri and Janaln Stoggell. Pete Horton had with him some interesting gig lists from the bands he was involved in, including a drawing of the Voodoos from 1964. Mick O’Dowd had a copy of the early Cymande CD to show Tony Qunta as he was in Cymande 2. John Wilde did not disappoint and had the bag of sherbert lemons for Mick. Very lively afternoon and among the conversations, Mick Mepham was talking about working on a new acoustic album, Expandis are going to play The Big Green Cardigan Festival in September, lots of Stallion chat and possibility of a gig in the future. The success of Hastings Rock Fest and the Scalliwags reunion which looks like happening again next year. Calvert Youth Club, The Deep Purple, gigs in village halls, what’s happening with The Beach Concert, Phil Gill’s interview, The Happening Club Kings Road, The Round Table youth club and more old photos needed. Factory’s upcoming gig, Performance and Lysander, Mott The Hoople, how gigs used to finish early, Spyke, cleaning vinyl, how come De La Warr Pavilion are getting all the big names and not The White Rock Theatre, Bruce Springsteen, Mullett Smith & Leisure Music, who’s going to open the new pier, The Flirts, Paul Wiseman, Roger Waters new The Wall film, The Town Council, 58 Club/Pebbles Winchelsea beach, King Rod, Cobweb and TheWitchdoctor. The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Pam Dor and anyone remember seeing Bob Marley and Paul Simon play Bexhill. This is just a small part of what I can remember and please free free to add anything intersting I missed. A big Thank you for the continuing support.
