Featuring Dave Garland, Den Wootton and Cliff Wootton.
Andy Qunta… I remember Butch! Great band! Lovely fellas!
Geoff Peckham… Me too! I don’t recall seeing them, but Dave Garland became a dedicated Factory roadie. (One or two stories there, Andy!?)
Andy Qunta… yes indeed, Dave was Factory’s roadie for quite a while! What a character he was too!
Cliff Wootton… Happy days
Lucy Pappas… That’s the Den and Cliff I remember! Rehearsing in your garage, playing at youth club. Maybe a couple of years before this pic. The beginning of my illustrious career! xx
Dave Nattress… One or two stories Geoff – tell us more. Nothing along the lines of the lurid Led zeppelin Mud-shark story I trust!!!
Geoff Peckham… The once I’m thinking of aren’t for these pages, Dave, believe me!
Alan Esdaile… Probably better to discuss at a SMART coffee meet, Geoff.
Judie Struys… Just tell my brother that I was not the only person in the world who called Motown “Tamla”. It was common pratice in Hastings in the 1970s. He always laughs at me when I say it. So there, David Cash
Glenn Piper… Anyone know where Dave Garland is now?
Andy Qunta… I believe Tony Qunta was in touch with him a couple of years ago. Maybe he knows?
Lucy Pappas… You’re right, Julie, it was always Tamla!
Glenn Piper… Anyone know where Dave Garland is now?
Tony Qunta… Hi Glenn, unfortunately haven’t seen Dave for a few years now. I think the last time I saw him was at Will Thompson’s party. I was in touch with him around the time Factory was about to do the gig at The Carlisle. He was going to be the sound engineer on the gig but it never happened in the end.

Yvonne Cleland… Memories…… just left school, and met Will!
Jim Hobbs… Emperor Rosko and the Radio One Club, great stuff, joke was Radio One reception in Hastings was bloody awful in those days. Reception on all ‘platforms’ is now brilliant – shame the content is shit!
Alan Esdaile… I got this album in my collection. Some great Atlantic tracks on here.
Dave Garland… I do slightly remember that Gig, on the Pier, I loved the Pier back in those days, saw so many good bands. I went backstage when Status Quo were on and tried to swap my 6″ Clogs for a pair of platform boots that the rhythm guitarist was wearing, (can’t remember his name,) but Francis Rossi said he’d break his neck wiv em on! The Kinks gig stands out, Thunderclap Newman, Factory supported lots of bands on the Pier including Suzie Contro(Mickey Most was with her there & commented on how good our P.A. was, for only 500 watts. The secret was to get the Bins up as high as possible!! Bring back the Pier!! Lol, Dave Garland (now back in Hastings!)
Terry Corder, Kevin Hoad, Wesley Magoogan and Will Thompson
Janine Anne Scott… This crazy bunch rehearsed next door to us in Godwin Road in the late 60s. Terry was our neighbour. Fun days.
Gerry Fortsch… One of the best local bands.
Yvonne Cleland… What a lovely pic of Terry, Moff, Wes and Will. Oh my heart, I was just a young girl out of school and then I fell for Will and Daisy xxxxxxxxxxxx
