The Kinsmen? plus The Motion – Witch Doctor 19th August 1967
Should this read The Kingsmen of Louie Louie fame, or a completely different band?
Mick O’Dowd… I think it is the Kinsmen. Don’t remember The Kingsmen actually touring the Uk as they were an American outfit and I think I would have gone to see them if they did.
Andre Martin… THE KINGSMEN were a group from Portland Oregon.Louis Louis was released in 1963 and held the no 2 slot on the Billboard chart for 6 weeks. Re-released again in 1966 it did chart, but much lower down.
Jump The Gun – The James Burton early 90’s
supplied by Karen Sweatman
Karen Sweatman….Not seventies, but thought you might be interested in these from early nineties – Jump The Gun. Think I took these downstairs at The James Burton. Happy days of light moshing!
Mick Mepham….Ernie Ballard behind the kit, I think.
Karen Sweatman….Guy on bass is somebody called Clive. Guitarist and singer – Dave Woods
Mick Mepham….Blimey, didn’t recognize Dave!! Good player.
Barty…..What ever happened to dave clive & ernie?
Ernest Ballard… We are all alive and kicking. If we can find Clive we will get the band back together
Slade In Flame Film – The Curzon Cinema St Leonards 23rd February 1975
Pete Fairless… What a great film!
Derek Clemans… Bloody hell. … I went to see that at the Curzon.
Carol Ann Bolton… I’ve not heard of this before. Must try and see it?
Graham Burfield… Just watched it on DVD still a great film
Mick Knights… The Curzon was a delight at the matinee interval when tea and biscuits were available, which reflected the age of their usual cinema goer!!!

Wishful Thinking and The Brotherhood – The Cobweb St Leonards 3rd August 1968
Colin Norton… Hi Alan, I was the drummer with The Brotherhood. Other members were Keith Hurley on lead guitar and Kes Jenkinson on bass/vocals. It was a good gig as far as I recall. Here’s the actual poster… No photos of this band unfortunately.

2nd August 1969 – The Late Hastings Pier and Toast at The Cobweb
supplied by Sarah Harvey
Sarah Harvey… A choice of music on this day in 1969. The Late on the Pier and Toast at the Cobweb.
Andre Martin… The Road, were a local Band but I have no knowledge or memories of the Go Go Dancers on the Thursday Night. I cannot think why anybody would try and run against such a strong show at that with Steve Maxted at the Cobweb, it does not make any business logic.
Nicola Dobson… These were my years at the Cobweb loved it there! Summer of 69 first summer out of school!
