To Mike Mclean, Hi Mike I read your piece about Tony Sheveton a couple of to late, I had spoken to Phil Morgan and he told me about this site,
I speak with Tony every week, He is doing a gig for me on 14 th November in the Earl Haig Club Cardiff, with the Class of 58
Also the great Charlie Gracie, who is on a 6 week tour of the UK,
starting the 28th October, I will let Tony have your number,
Ref: The Solid Six, I was like a roady for them, I use to help with the gear,
I used to take them up to the Two Eyes cafe in old Cromten Street in Soho, They also were the resident band in the Seventy Seven club in Barry, I used to pick up Gary wife and take her there, He has never forgiven me, Ha Ha!! The Singers with the Solid Six were Vince helkvist Ray Todd, ( Mac the drumers brother,) Billy Young, Slade Corsi, real name Tony ,He was a hairdresser,he had a big white Jaguar with scissors on the side, there was others later Joey Escott, Who was taken ill while in London,
Thats when Tony joined them as The Gary Edwards Combo, I was very lucky to have been a little part of things, ( Great Times ) I have been a life long friend of Vince, At the last charity night I did for cancer research,
I had on stage, Vince Helkvist Duffy Cooper, Tony Sheveton, Georgie Johnson,Mac Todd was also there, So any one in Cardiff , Try to make the Earl Haig Club Whitchurch, 14th November, There will be lots of people you know, Who knows who will give a song,!! Regards to old friends,
Paul Pesticcio.
