Jenny Tyler… I loved Steve Maxted.
Phil Gill… I was there for the New Year gig. The bouncers stopped the Stallion set at 11:45 and threw everyone out. They were really shitty about it too. Presumably they wanted to go drinking…
Mick Mepham… I remember introducing Hudson/Ford and making a total twat of myself doing so ….. blusho ……
Yvonne Cleland…. You were nowt but a lad, MM 🙂

Jo Turner… I loved it Sarah. Thank you for the memories you helped create
Nigel Ford… Stephen Turner’s report mentions STRIFE at the Pier which I attended and then bought the album “RUSH” with “Man of the wilderness” and great title track.
Haven’t heard you play them on your HR Show yet Sarah Harvey?….though I’ve yet to catch up with one from this year when we went to the Stables Theatre.

Mick O’Dowd… Isn’t that the chemists now?

Mick O’Dowd… Now you can go in the chemist for pain relief for the hangover!
Mosaic plus Pueblo and Friends – Zodiac Centre 27th July 1974
supplied by Roger Carey
Pete Fairless… Hand coloured?
Conan Howard… I bet that was done by Bernard Jeffries the drummer?
Sarah Harvey… Roger normally did the hand-crafted posters for the bands. They were always neat and he always put a lot of time into them as you can imagine.
Dave Nattress… Sarah, I have some old Samisen artwork, some you did I think – posters for gigs, with “Samisen” in Japanese style lettering and a rising sun logo, and some I did which we put in our car windows – must meet up some time or I’ll bring them to a SMART gig. Temporarily mislaid but I do have them for sure.
Sarah Harvey… I remember those Dave. My first job was a design draftsperson and I created all the Ore Festival posters on a drawing board with set squares and other drawing instruments.
Dave Nattress… Sarah, when I find them I’ll post them on the SMART website.
Conan Howard… I think that was done by Bernard Jeffries,Samisens second drummer .. who is now is KING BATHMAT
