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.

Jenny Tyler… I was there.
Colin Fox… Does anyone know if Peter Head is still about? He must have retired from Hastings police some years ago.
Peter Millington… Hi Colin, Pete is still about but has now retired from “Sleight of Hand” and I believe he’s doing some gigs with his Sister. He did a “cracking” musical tribute to Paul Burton along with several other groups, acts at his “wake” on 3rd February last, at the East Hastings Angling Club. He’s certainly not wearing Blue any more!
Colin Fox… Hi Peter. Glad to hear he is still playing.

Robert Searle… Love these photos
Colin Fox… I used to watch Chris and Pete practice in one of the parks along The Avenue, Eastbourne. I learnt a lot watching Pete who went on to be a policeman in Hastings.
Andre Martin… I thought that Pete’s face looked familiar – now you mention his profession it all falls into place.
