Used for the Butlins advert…
Colin Bell… Two of the line-up, Pete & Robin, were good friends i first met as Flower Pot Men, great singers!
Geoff Peckham… I wasn’t allowed to attend De La Warr Pavilion Beat Raves as it was rumoured purple hearts readily available there. Surely not.
Mick O’Dowd… Sure they didn’t mean Love Heart Geoff?
Jack Irving… The Pathfinders. Was this the Glasgow band? If so, they later became known as “White Trash” and signed with Apple records.
Rob Hermans… I was with the Pathfinders from Shoreham, just west of Brighton … I think we played there – it was around same time as our appearance at London Palladium. Sending Love.

Leigh Mitchell… Bert Weedon! Now that’s a blast from the past! I worked for his agent in London back in the late 70s!
Robert Carey… Still got my Play in a Day book.
Leigh Mitchell… Robert, BW gave me a book which he signed, can’t remember what it was called, I gave it to my Dad (not that he had a guitar but he liked Bert
Robert Carey… Here is my Play in a Day. It cost me 5/- ( 25p ) outrageous! Must have been c 1964
Jacquie Hinves… Incredible they were such amazing stars . Sadly, I bet all forgotten?
Alan Esdaile… Jacquie, I will never forget Matt Monro
Graham Sherrington… Did not Mel Torme give great comments on Matt Monro’s voice???
Tony MacDonnell… worked with Matt Monro and Bert Weedon. Shame they spelled Matt’s surname wrongly! I never heard of Bert being called “Ginchy”??
Alan Esdaile… Tony, Ginchy is a record he released in the early sixties.

Colin Norton… Gerry Dorsey was Engelbert Humperdinck
Burgess… Wish I had seen him, I still have all his records except Poor me that got lost, bought them to Canada with me
Martin Richter… interesting line-up
Roy Penfold… Many household names, still known even today!
Martin Richter… a surprising running order ?
Roy Penfold… True, but it could be in order that the celebrities were ranked in 1967. With Vera Lynn 5th in the line-up it is impossible to say whether best-to-least known or vice-versa…. Unless David Jacobs being after Vera Lynn was a late substitution (and should have been before her), or a typo, then it would be in alphabetical order of surname….
Mick O’Dowd… “All I Want For Christmas is a Beatle”

DLWP… We’re celebrating our heritage today with this lovely picture of the Café Bar in 1972 decked out for Spring! Look at that beautiful clock… which reminds us, don’t forget that clocks go forward today!
Carol Anne… Memories my dad took us there when we moved to Bexhill many many moons ago.
The Confederates live recording on the TVS Programme – Home Grown at the De La Warr Pavillion, Bexhill on 22nd March 1966.
Mike Waghorne… Is that the same program that also has Dave dee, dozy, etc on at the de-la-warr around the same era ?
Leigh Wieland-Boys… Wow what a great memory to have! Loved it! Xxx
