Local News Report
The packet that held the 25 pounds 1st Prize
"Sad to say it was a battle
that took many months to actually get to record at Decca which was
the main part of the prize. I think it was late in the year before
we recorded 2 tracks in what was the same studio that the Moody
Blues and PJ Proby used. Nothing came of the recordings. The band
continued on in various forms and under various names
until 1976 when I emigrated to Florida, and Ray Baker (at the left
shoulder of the Carnival Queen) went to live in Australia.
Sadly the Bass Player and the
Drummer have both passed away and I am unsure of the other 2.
Ray and I still stay in touch. We both still play for fun and
I still have the same Strat I used at the Carnival."
