Thanks for that info PHIL. I was in school with Micky,mally & dusty at caer castell. My first band was the searchers with Micky Gee & Ronnie (chuffer) Fox. To good for us tho and went on to much better things (history). I carried on singing with the southerners when joey escort left to go pro with joey & the gentlemen. Later turned manager of the Chevrons for a couple of years with Roger Mullins,Dave Williams,Howard Webber,Alan Roberts & John Sithers who was replaced on drums my Mac Todd when he came back from the smoke. His brother Ray was an original member of the Solid Six only to be replaced by Billy Young who came from a Newport band called the Midnighters. I was also very friendly in those days with Tommy Miller of the Rebels. I remember all the venues of the day including the .77 sunset strip in Barry,the Marina,the Paget,the Victoria ballroom, the Majestic in Newport and loads more. Great to talk to someone with the same interests & memories.
