The band was great and a lot of fun to be with. We were a wild bunch and could drink most guys under table but one thing for sure, it never affected our ability to play and entertain. I would say that Chris had a discipline that made you always want to give your best and we certainly did. We backed Jim Reeves in July 1964 and our singer/guitarist Peter Jay was so good at singing Reeve's songs that Reeves manager asked him to stay behind after his show to listen to Peter. Sadly nothing ever came about it as Reeves died in a plane crash less than a month later. R.I.P. Chris I have happy memories of you that I will always carry with me.

Can anyone help please? Very early days he played bass in a Shadows-like group, called I seem to remember The Strangers. They played a few times at the Gaumont State Dance hall in Kilburn North London. I'm in a Facebook, group "Kilburn in 50's and 60's and Johns name has cropped up a few times together with a good mate of his Johnny Souster. They both lived in Brondesbury Villas, Kilburn and John L's s mum worked at a Grocers shop in Salusbury Rd between the Presbyterian Church and Grays the Chemist. Any help or steer in the right direction will be very much appreciated.
