Pete Prescott….that was a fun night, jump the gun were very good, dave woods was amazing and the place was packed. Probably the best time for the lost boys.we were twenty four years younger and at least that many stones lighter ! The place was always packed. I have a few of those nights on video.
I tried to appreciate The Lost Boys and those gigs. I knew it was never gonna be as good again. It was like a great big social club. So many people going mad. Brilliant times.
At the time there were 5 bands in the u.k.called The Lost Boys, we found that out when we registered the songs on the first tape we put out (remember cassettes!?)

Alan McCleave… Hastings rock night. Dave wood, ernie Ballard, joe rytlewski, Peter Prescott, Jez Gillette, mick burt + a host of others.

Redstar Richter… eek – played on stage with most of that lot!

Ernest Ballard… Hey hey. What a memory. My old rock band JUMP THE GUN. On a fab night gigging with the other rockers in Hastings. It was a bloody great night as I remember. Happy days. And when we all had hair!! X

Pete Prescott… Who fancies identifying them left to right !

Martyn Baker… I think you’re there Pete.

Andy Knight… I remember that night!

Nigel Polley… i was there

Steve Simpson… How weird. The singer from another band I played in now has a band called Jump The Gun.

Roland Groves… Saw Jump The Gun at Berties Bar in the early nineties.

Ernest Ballard… Cassettes yes they worked well. Just used to chew up. Then they were totally trashed. The gig was awesome. Didn’t we have some great times Pete. Happy memories

Martin Richter… nice line up 🙂 some faces there 🙂

Joe Knight… Great!!!

What songs will they play at your funeral?


Seem to be going to more and more funerals lately and I keep getting asked this question.  At the moment I would say Marmalade Reflections Of My Life and Tindersticks My Oblivion. What would you pick for yours?

Chris van Rock… Nick drake – northern sky, Manic street preachers – motorcycle emptiness.

Terry Huggins… In This Moment 11:11. My mother had Bat out of Hell played at hers.

Allyson Breeds…  I’m sure some people think the appropriate one for me is ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead’

Phil Gill… I want my iPod set to shuffle something random happens. It’s a risky strategy though, it has Derek and Clive on it.

Jan Warren… Freebird – Lynryd Skynyrd

Patricia Landamore… Stylistics,” You make me feel brand new” think I would leave with Lou Reed,” It’s a Perfect Day ” 👏👏👏👏

Jim Breeds… Another one bites the dust. Going underground.

Phil Gill… Have to say Mo set the bar quite high with “Don’t Fear The Reaper”

Jo Avery… “Don’t wanna know” – John Martyn, “Time in a bottle” – John Croce. Then right at the end “To Life” from Fiddler on the Roof!

Dennis Torrance… I think a hard choice stairway to heaven or something by the great film composer John Barry

Jo Avery… Out of Africa perhaps? Beautiful.

Dennis Torrance… yes out of Africa a must I think. John Barry wrote such stunning scores for films midnight cowboy etc . Am a rock fan at heart but my brother used to like John Barry music and it grew on me

Mike Guy… Fire – Bruce Springsteen, I’m On Fire – Bruce Springsteen, Fire – Crazy world of Arthur Brown . . . . guess it’s a cremation! In reality something by Yes – something quite lone to fill the space left by a lack of any religious service. . . . Ritual might be ironic enough.

Virginia Davis…  I was discussing this with my friend the other day and she picked Music by John Miles for me as it reminds her of me. Nice to know she’s put some thought into the subject !!!

Tony May…  I’d want ‘Someday’ by Kim Wilde and my own ‘The Toy Museum’ played at mine…

Karen Sweatman… Don’t Fear The Reaper for me

Glenn Piper… For my own funeral; Queen- Another one bites the dust. John Martyn- Solid Air, Joe Bonamassa- Drive.

Margaret Fletcher…  Elvis ( ANGEL )

Caroline Spencer… Elvis how great thou art

Stephen Kolimbarides… Dudley Moore & Peter Cooke Goodbye
