Chris Meachen… I’m in that crowd somewhere….
Alan Esdaile… Roger Carey in the red trousers.
Nikolai Bukharin… amazing to see this, thanks so much for posting Alan. I was at the 1983 one, have very vivid memories of The Enid set, and vague recollections of much else, music wise.
supplied by John Wilde David Miller, John Alexander Wilde and Philip George Thornton.
Phil Gill……Photo taken a split second before the bus ploughed into the stage.
and from 1981 – Moment Of Passion
Yvonne Cleland… My mum could have made two pairs of trahsers out of those strides 🙂 🙂
John Wilde… Great memory, thanks Alan. Oh if only I had saved that gear. Loved those pants! Great times.
David Miller… Loved that day, that event and that performance.
Phil Thornton… was going for the ‘space priest’ look which has fallen out of favour in recent years … cant get hats like that anymore ! Just noticed I’m playing an acoustic 12 string !! I must have been going through a phase !
Phil Gill… Eko Ranger 12? I used to have one of those…. I’ll say no more.
Andy Qunta… Those are surely award-winning trousers that John is flaunting!
Chris Cozens… Keyboard wiz Nick Magnus on the left. (The Enid, Johnny Mars and Steve Hackett to name but three).

Photo from Vines Cross Festival near Heathfield (Top of the bill was The Enid) L-R David Miller guitar/vocals, Roger Carey bass, John Wilde vocals percussion, Phil Thornton keyboards/vocals. Poster – Rumours Club Hastings 22nd July 1983 & Alexandra Park 23rd July 1983. Set lists. Probably from a gig in London and a gig in Bath. Notice the van hire charges totally £40.00.
John Wilde… Wahooo. Nice save Roger!
David Miller… Great pic of a great day and other fine stuff – nice one, Roger….
Yvonne Cleland… What a picture, what a photograph! Good find, Rog! x
Yvonne Cleland…..I think Andy Burke is in America now. His sister Lorraine is still in Sussex I think.
Hastings Local Band Photos…..The girl at bottom centre is Janette Saxby – she was the wife of our Bass Player Geoff Saxby in The Dekorators, and was also our Sax player for a while about ’84 – 5!
Sue Graham… I played with Shy Boy 1983/84 but that’s not me in the picture! Left to right – Tim, Kev, Ernie, Andy, ?, Frank. Missing Jon, Chaz and possibly a couple of others.
Mick O’Dowd….The original bionic man himself, Dave Easton with the Bradley Wiggins sideburns!
Joe Knight….well just look at DAVE!!!must send this to him 🙂 love it!!!
Terry Pack….That’s the phallus of shame I was referring to several weeks ago. I knew there was a photo. The person responsible for the most errors was awarded it at the end of the gig, but it got passed around during the gig, too.
Pete Prescott….the last i saw of it was at the six bells at chiddingly, pete shaw won it but it was never seen again thats a very bearded Terry in the background it was at brian storkies place in bexhill.i think it was around 1981.
Tony May….Back to the early 80’s! I bought this record featuring Martin Curcher (Telham Tinkers) in the Disc Jockey. The band went on tour with Vice Squad apparently.
Tony May…..back to the mid 80’s and those perpetual wavers not drowners – Expandis..
