Lloyd Johnson… LEG-END as Henry would say!
Colin Fox… I used to see the Talismen when they were a trio at the Pier Hotel Eastbourne. Chris Sayer on guitar and Henry with his violin bass, with a rope instead of a guitar strap. Great band.
Lloyd Johnson… Peter Jones was the drummer in The Talismen back then….
Peter Jones… that’s right Lloyd, but I also don’t know who the chap on the left is. not to certain about Henry, as I’ve only seen Henry & Chris from the back. ( drummers viewpoint ),!
Stuart Moir… They were the first band I watched at the Regent Hotel basement, great band with Pete’ Jones on drums, I remember watching his kick drum head it was so loose it flapped backwards and forwards, they also had a guy on keys who was only in the band as he had a van to kart all the gear around, I think his knickname was Budge, if I remember he was a hairdresser in a Queens road business, Henry changed to Bass guitar for that band.
