Neil Cartwright…  ‘Bands for Kelly’, event was to raise money for a young girl called Kelly who had a medical condition. The bands who played were: Hat Trick, The Havaiians , Electra Blitz, Sprayman and the Teenage Idols and The Edge. I have audio recordings of everybody.

Barry French… The event was organised to raise funds for a young girl called Kelly Smith who was very sick. Supported by family & my two great friends Dennis Wootton & Neil Cartwright we proceeded to get the wheels in motion to play a few tunes & raise some cash. As always in Hastings,other musicians kindly offered their services & Bands For Kelly was born. Roger Carey, Den & I also played a short impromptu Hat Trick set. It was a great evening for a lovely cause.

Sarah Harvey… This day July 23rd, 1977. J.A.L N. UK home-grown black music band from the 1970’s. Dabbled in disco / funk / reggae in the mid to late 1970’s – and became very popular in the UK. Biggest hit was “Disco music (I like it)”

Andre Martin… Remember in the mid 70s working with Magnet Records Promotions manager on several shows for their product and JALN [Just Another Lonely Night] were included, excellent bunch of characters – Magnet Records were only small, but had an excellent roster of acts – Happy Days.

Alan Esdaile… Great band live.

Joe Knight… jubilee year ha ha
