RITZ, with John Laidlaw, Neil Cartwright, Martin Stringer, Andy Knight(Drums) & Paul Dengate.
John Laidlaw….Eeek!
Paul Dengate… Just thinking, Neil and Andy and I played with two bands that weekend – Chaser and Ritz. Then realised that Garry Blakeley probably played with nearly everyone on the Saturday!
John Beeching… I don’t think he left the stage all day, should have been sponsored for the marathon.
Gilly Johnson… What a great festival it was!

Mick O’Dowd… Found this cassette in my cupboard. Andy Knight & Paul Dengate and part was recorded at the Sunday Blues Nights at Pebbles Nightclub Winchelsea Beach. A good session and a good local band.
1980
Geoff Peckham… Would have liked to have seen them. I missed a lot through leaving Hastings in ’74. Thought I recognised the photo on cover, then found it in my vinyl collection!

Nicholas Randall… Jukes LP live at palace recorded Hastings sept 1987 at pig in paradise
Dont know much about the band but its amazing album
Phil Gill… they were a bunch of drunken ruffians who set up a tape machine at a gig and made a record out of the resulting noises. (And thanks for endorsing the album!)
Nick Foster… I’ve got an original cassette recording of the album entitled “Proposed Jukes Album – 2nd Generation copy. The band were very popular in and around Hastings in the 80’s. Andy Bannister’s party trick was to hold the last note of Handbags & Gladrags while the band played the chorus again. Always sounded amazing and the audience cheered him on but when you listen to the recording you realise just how difficult it was for him.
Great times at the Pig in the 80’s.
Pete Prescott… I’ve got this album ! Great stuff !
Phil Gill… Pete, I’ve got a few too.
Alex Knight… Phil, I’ve now got it electronically!! Along with the few vinyls!! Absolutely loved this album!
Phil Gill… Glad you like it Alex, I think there’s a certain energy to it which we were able to capture on the night.
Alex Knight… it’s an amazing album, and possibly the best version of handbags and gladrags I’ve heard. Take me shake me was also a personal favourite of mine!
Alan Esdaile… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYkIU9uGhTg&t=394s
Ann Gill… I won one in a raffle, I said they could re draw as I already had it 
. Great album though
Ken Hatch… I think the odd vinyl might still be available from Andy Knight

Paul Dengate…. I’ve checked through my diaries and I reckon this was taken at the Steppin’ Out “party night” at the Archery, Eastbourne, 24th December 1977. Used to do the sound for the band, but this was probably a special party-piece. L-R: Wesley Magoogan, Ray Fenwick, Paul Dengate, Martyn Baker, Roger Hubbard. Drummer is possibly Andy Knight.or Kevin Hoad.
Andy Qunta… Great band!
Nigel Ford… Was Tich Turner in Steppin’ Out at some point,…soon after he left Stallion, I seem to remember?
Alan Esdaile.. Yes your right Nigel. Here’s a press photo from 1977…
John Wilde… One word. Hair.
Wesley Magoogan… Serious flairs!
Martyn Baker… Yeah, nice pair of lionels Wesley but I think if there was a biscuit around then Paul would have taken it.
Paul Dengate… Yes.
Dave Nattress… Samisen played the Archery Tavern once when I was with them – mid-week I think and If I remember correctly it was one of those gigs where the unappreciative audience had just about made double figures.

Andy Knight… My recollection is this is Banned, a short lived band in about 1970, Digger Rosewell (voc) Bob Shipway (bass), Chris Baker (gtr) and Andy Knight (drms), Bob and Chris are welcome to correct or add re the date etc. It was in Christ Church School (upstairs), we borrowed a scout handcart to get the equipment from where I lived in Carisbrooke Road to the entrance in Alfred Street, we must have been bonkers
Bob Shipway… Wow, I’d forgotten this line up and band name completely!
Mike Mitchell… Not bonkers, Andy, just young!
Chris Baker… Wow! Me too! Need more info on this. I was clearly there, but then “if you can remember those days you weren’t really there!”. 
Reminds me of the early days before we even had a van! Carrying all the amps and speakers from Priory Road to the Round Table Youth Club for every practice. Hands were numb from carrying the weight so it took a while to recover before we could play anything!
Sam Rosewell… Wow! My dad (Digger) looks so cool!!
Lyn Humphrey… I worked with Digger Rosewall in ’73, at Ashdown House (Works Bills).

John Breeds… Dave Alderson (Vocals), John Breeds (Bass), Bryan Baker (Lead and Vocals) and Andy Knight (Drums). Rockaires was a Hastings based band . Andy left soon after these photos were taken and he was replaced with Dave Johnson (who Peter Millington would remember), and we remained with this format until the Rockaires finished in 1978.
Tony May… Brian Baker used to be in a band called ‘Talisman’. They had a single and album out called ‘Sounds in Our Minds’ ( I think). I met Brian years ago, he did some kind of teaching later on. I recall. I also saw his AWESOME vinyl Rock N’ Roll collection once!
Alan Esdaile… This one Tony?
John Breeds…. The LP was recorded at Riverside Studios in Chiswick , with a collaboration between Bryan Baker and Mark Swift of all the numbers except one. It was recorded with Bryan Baker (Guitar and Vocals), Chris Baker (Keyboards and some backing vocals), Dave Johnson (Drums and some backing vocals), John Breeds (Bass and some backing vocals) and Charlie McCalliogh (tenor Saxophone.)

Bob Shipway… Indeed! I was playing in Sam Tripp with Al Turner (vocals), Jeff Hobson (guitar) and Ollie (drums) that night. I can’t remember if this was before Shaft with Dave Shaw, Colin Pearce, Andy Knight and Jim Beadle or afterwards. Either way it was a super night.
