Eric Upton… We were booked to play with The Four Pennies at Hove Town Hall but they didn’t show and people wanted their money back. Then the replacement group turned up and it was an early gig for The Kinks.

Michaela Audette… Thanks for posting. Today is my Dad’s birthday – Don Climpson. I remember going to the pier and seeing him play for the 80’s show. It is nice to see 60’s and 80’s pics side by side. Thanks again.

Peter Millington… The Tuxedos – 1961 – L to R = Robin Groves, Pete Jones, Paul Burton, Don Climpson, Eric Upton – A great group that had a very large following. In those days the venues were mainly church halls and youth clubs – no alcohol in sight but who needed it!
