Andy Qunta… Fabulous! I used to have a book with all Spike’s Goon Show scripts, and apart from being hilarious, it was fascinating to see how much of the Bexhill area was mentioned!

Alex Chapman… I met him once when he appeared at a College do that I was attending, I nearly wet myself, the man was a genius, but unpredictable.

Geoff Peckham… Brilliant! My dad played bass regularly in the 50s with Jim Bray, who was Spike’s pianist in his Bexhill days.

Alan Pepper… Now there was a great and funny man !! Would love to be a time traveller and go back to that gig !! Not just because the refreshments were free either ha ha ! What are we gonna do now ?

Mick O’Dowd… My Mum used to hang out with a group that included Spike in Bexhill when she worked at Waghorns Garage opposite the De La Warr.
