Anyone remember ‘Contrast’?

Martin Richter… *full bar service*

Stuart Moir… Centre page supported Hot Chocolate at this Disco when it was a live music venue, I remember lugging my drums up the rear fire escape stairs

Robert Searle… Worse thing about that venue was those steps at the back, loved playing there though and being a customer too.

Colin Norton… Photo of Contrast – Lawrie Broadway on keyboards.

Clare Bennett… I remember it, don’t think I went in there

Martin Richter… Stuart, lol – imagine bumping up to 50 barrels of beer up those stairs every week – that was *my* job – lucky me

Jacquie Hinves… Great times spent there. We would get back to the RESH nurses home change, go to the Golden Hind then head to Saturdays! Home at 2am , up again at 5.30 to catch the bus from the railway station at 6.15 and be at St Helens for the 7am shift. Good times.

Left to right: Mick Nixon – Bass (you can just see his left arm), Lawrie Broadway – Rhythm Guitar, Pete Alland – Vocals, Colin Norton- Drums, Stan Milham – Lead Guitar. Photos were taken in March, 1965. This was my Ajax kit about a year before I switched to Ludwig. Stan Milham was the leader of the Original Rebels back in 1959 or thereabouts
