Rob Sargent… Tony Shaw and The Neutrons (Tony Shaw crossed out as when I joined it became just The Neutrons). Shortly after this the name changed again to 4 Bidden and then finally to St Johns Wood. The logo for St Johns Wood was designed by Rodney Pittam, the bands pianist/organ player and he painted it onto the front skin of my bass drum. Rod is still with us running his own successful design company. Bit of background…I am one Eddie Sargent’s younger brothers started playing in the 60s like everyone else and remember all the bands and most of the musicians from this era. Still playing in several bands up here in the Midlands from 60s, blues through to jazz and I’m a partner in running a local Jazz club that puts on acts from across the country. This is great site for people like me to catch up and remember good times from the past whilst hopefully creating some new ones for the future. Keep up the great work.

Colin Fox… Hi Rob, good to hear from you. Rodney also painted the logo on the side of the group van. He now lives in Atlanta, Georgia and came over to Spain to visit us in September 2007. He’s still as nutty as ever.
Rob Sargent… Hi Sedley – good to hear from you and good to know your keeping an eye on us even from foreign shores. Hope you and yours are all ok and hope your still playing and keeping music alive! Rod seem to have ‘made it’ (whatever that is). Hope to hear from Ray and Colin that their alright as well. The view looks great hope the wine is too! Is that Ross with you???? tell him less of the Grecian 2000 and go au natural!!!

Rob Sargent… Hi Ray how are the carbs doing these days? I remember a loooong conversation in the van one night after practice at the Leaf Hall when everyone wanted to go home (now what type were they twin or single SU or?) Hope your keeping well as I no longer get updates from my brother in law at Russel Motors as he sold it off.
