Simply the Best ......

Simply the Best -

Rare opportunity to marvel at the legendary ALBERT LEE - one of world's greatest guitarists - here in the North-East of England.

Tickets are available NOW from Big JimTait on 0191 3720311 or email: jim@attention.eclipse.co.uk

I received an email from Colin Bradley, in Toronto, the other day (pictured above with Paul Rodgers)
Colin was a founder member of the Road Runners - a very successful local group during the early Sixties - who hailed from Middlesbrough.

What I had not realised, until Colin contacted me, was just how influential some of the members later became on the the UK rock and pop scene.

Two of the founder members were Paul Rodgers and Micky Moody.

Paul, who started out as the Road Runner's bass player, was an original member of FREE and has enjoyed a 40 year career culminating most recently with his fronting of QUEEN.

Micky Moody eventually found success working with John McCoy's Tramline, Juicy Lucy, a series of side-man gigs with people like Gene Pitney and others, and in later years was a founding member of the hugely successful White Snake along with another son of Teesside, David Coverdale.

Bruce Thomas, who took over the role of bass player when Paul became the main vocalist and front man, ended up playing with the Sutherland Brothers & Quiver before beginning a long association with Elvis Costello and the Attractions. He is also an inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a published author and expert on the career of martial arts icon Bruce Lee.

Not bad for a bunch of local lads Eh?

Sad News

It is with great sadness that we have heard of the death of Mervyn Forse, on Saturday 13th June 2009

In the early Sixties Mervyn played bass in the popular local group the Del 5, and was later to be the driving force behind White Sound Amplification.

The Del 5 pictured in happier days - Mervyn is second from the right.
