Andre Palfrey-Martin Collection

Andre Martin… I have for some reason kept this poster from Friday 13th May 1966. Just look at those prices – and I could have claimed Student Rate at the time, that would have been an even bigger bonus. I seem to recall that you could get a very late[early]train back from Eastbourne at about 1.30 am that was always very useful.

Alan Esdaile… You probably kept it because they were a great band live. Used to see a few bands at The Sundowners and hitch hike back home

Len Smith… Catacombe great place to play but how did they manage all 3 bands & Drifters in one night on that stage!

Karen Sweatman… I believe The Suspects also supported The Drifters at some point, but we couldn’t find that poster.

Stephen Booth… Great club as I remember, also The Dolphin pub and the Jade House in Brighton where I bought my first Ben Sherman shirt

Harry Randall… Saw “The Foundations ” there

Stuart Moir… Defiants were a local band .
