Chris Meachen… Don’t remember wooden lion, but I paid a visit to stormcrow’s lady vocalist in bromley before heading to an ELP gig..
Peter Fairless… Was that disco any good?
Alan Esdaile… Probably wooden like the band Pete.
Peter Fairless… Did you keep set lists?
Alan Esdaile… The only thing I would have definitely played at the start of every Rock gig, would have been In A Gadda Da Vida by Iron Butterfly. Always went down well and guaranteed to get people asking what it was and I know The Disc Jockey and Stylus used to sell loads of it.
Reg Wood… Blimey Alan weren’t we still at school when that came out!
Roy Penfold… Would that have been the full 17 minute version?
Alan Esdaile… I’m pretty sure I first heard In A Gadda Da Vida down the Hi Fi Club, High Street, mind you trying to work out the dates I was probably only 14 when I started going down the HiFI. Mum & Dad just going round a friends house to do my homework! Yes Roy, the full album track to start. Mind you most people popped in, asked what time the support are on, do I know if they are any good and then made their way to the bar.
Shaun Pont… Wooden Lion here http://www.woodenlion.com/woodenlion.php
Clive Richardson… I remember the unusual start to Wooden Lion’s set with the vocalist behind a psychedelic piece of Perspex and the synth guy vcs3 synth, wearing flying goggles, it was a really interesting set. Another band that deserved more success. I seem to recall one of the band had played in Hawkwind at some point . I saw this band 3 times including Watchfield free festival -1975 I think.
Matt Thomas… Sorry I couldn’t make it, I was only 5
Pete Houghton… Yes Wooden Lion put on a good show
