Yvonne Cleland… They look like a folk band!
Tim Moose Bruce… Saw them upstairs in the Carlisle. Think they were support to Footloose.
Mick O’Dowd… Yes you did Tim. That was my promotion. Both good bands.
Richard Padgett… amazing i found this by chance. I was in Loggerhead and relocated back to Native Yorkshire in 1988 after 12 years in the south and have continued to play on and off with bands. Remember having lessons from Ray Fenwick RIP (Ian Gillan band and Spencer Davis group)who lived in Upper Park Road Hastings. I will be visiting Hastings for the first time since 1988 in Spring 2025 and if any Loggerhead guys (Or Mick Mepham reads this ) would be great to meet up with anyone …. I still have original tape recordings from Carlisle and pier and rehearsals. I brought a Yorkshire band Dawnwatcher down (singer Billy Barton who I grew up with) to play at Hastings Pier roughly around 1980/81 and Die Laughing played that night also. Dawnwatcher and Marillion were the two finalists when a record label in London were due to offer a contract and of course Marillion won! I knew most of the guys mentioned on SMART and The Quanta brothers were top musicians I recall.
