Leigh Mitchell… Did this become Condons?

Alan Esdaile… I think the main shop was nearer the town in Robertson Street but they may have had this one as well? They also have a shop in Cambridge Road at one stage and possibly South Terrace???

Carol Acott… Got our first furniture from there in 1968…wasn’t Condons in Norman Road?

Chris Baker… I worked there for a few months. They were a little further up the road when the shop caught fire! I had been putting up some lighting around the shop but eventually even the police agreed it wasn’t my fault!

Ian McGilvray… I think that was pre Deep Purple days.

Robert Searle… Good photo Mac of you and Tony Bird. Was it a Peddlers type of group?

Ian McGilvray… Yeah, more like the Peddlers. Keyboard based sound.

Pete Prescott… wow ! Good looking guys !

Terry Pack… I sat in with this trio at a talent competition at The Yorkshire Grey in St Leonards and won £5. I also depped with the band when Len was unwell.

Ian McGilvray… I remember

Terry Pack… I sat in with this trio at a talent competition at The Yorkshire Grey in St Leonards and won £5. I also depped with the band when Len was unwell. Early 1974? Late 1973? I know that I was about 15/16 and way too young to have been in the pub! Steve D was trying to persuade me to join his band, and I kept saying no because he was so much older than me, and I was intimidated by him and the others. Steve had to change your kit around to sit in.

Ian McGilvray… Thanks Len for finding the above photo.

Jim Breeds… At last!! A band for those of us with hearing aids!!
