Felix press cutting … Wesley Magoogan, Roger Carey, Den Wootton, Will Thomson and Mike Tanner.
Wesley Magoogan… Amazing looking at the past ! Hard to believe this was 40 years ago, seems like yesterday !
Martin Curcher… Is that Mike Tanner on the right?
Liane Carroll… Fab picture. My hubby looks sooooo cute!!!
Yvonne Cleland… Remember this night well! xxx
Conan Howard… Samisen knocked it out of the ball park that night
Sarah Harvey… Yes we did
Bernard Goffredo… as always. It was fun in those days
Roger Carey… Lenny and Ralph!
Roger Carey…That gig went particularly well, the review was written by Stephen Turner who was in year above me at school and became a Hastings Observer journalist of renown- it was good to have someone who had interest and enthusiasm for the Hastings music scene! Thanks for putting this up Alan! Look forward to when we can all meet up at a “Smart” gathering again….The band Felix had been formed in late 1974 I think , Den Wootton’s brother Cliff was originally on bass but suggested I should take his place so I joined in 1975.. We carried on into 76 with a lot of writing, recording, rehearsals and selected gigs but when Wesley Magoogan decided to leave to concentrate on session work the band was reshaped by Mike Tanner and Will Thomson into “Aircraft”. Den and I moved to our pop/rock band “HatTrick”.. Fun and games man!.. One of my film quotes in that essay about Felix… In “JFK” Joe Pesci plays a very jumpy character who , while being interviewed by Kevin Costner, talks about “everybody was flipping sides- fun and games , man…!” It came to me whilst thinking of us all joining or checking out each other’s bands!
Barry French… Happy memories of two great local bands
Terry Pack… I heard Felix a couple of times. Roger’s playing scared the living daylights out of me.
