Hi Bez, the line up of the band changed over the years and I dont know if Eddie played or not but I am sure the others will! Whilst I was there from about 76 to 79 the line up was Albert Bennett (David is his real name) who is an amazing front man & vocalist, Peter Billingsley - incredible drummer, Simon Peace guitar & cape! and me also on guitar. We were looked after on the road by Simon's brother Jonny, someone called magic Dick and Dave Beaumont who somehow managed to get a working van and all of us and our euipment to gigs all over the place. When Simon left we were luckily enought to have Andy and occasionaly Alan Walker join on guitar and later on when we got back together for Peter's 40th in 1992 we had Alan Walker again on giutar with Ozzie join us on bass. I hope that Albert (David) sees this post and can give us a more complete line up over the years. We did have some amazing times and the audiences were very supportive.

I have sent a photo and will let the rest of the band know about the sad news. lets keep in touch.

Hi Bez66 - many thanks for your message on the forum. I am really sorry to hear that Harry has passed away. I will email the rest of the band to let them know. A couple of years ago, in 2013, I tried to get as many of the people that had been involved with Greensleeper together and it was amazing to see so many of us in one place at the same time. We had a lovely evening (and I had a sore head the next morning). We would have loved it if Harry could have joined us. I have some great photos of Harry and the band playing live if you dont have them already. I cant seem to upload theme here on the forum but if you would like them email me: [email protected] all the best.

Hi Eddie, thanks for your reply. I will pass this info to the other band members and see if it edges us closer to getting in touch with Harry. All the rest of us met up a couple of weeks ago at the Shiny Sheff, where Ebony Moonbeam were playing. It was a real shame that Harry wasnt there. I am sure that we will make contact sooner or later. Thanks again.

Thanks for that. I have been in contact with Pete and Albert, but there is no trace of Harry. The search goes on!

Hello, I used to play guitar in a band called Greensleeper in the late 70's along with Simon Peace, Peter Billingsley (drums), Albert on vocals and Harry on bass. We played at Weston Park a few times and lots of local and not so local pubs, clubs and colleges. I am trying to make contact with members of the band and can't seem to track Harry down. I think his surname was Wilkinson and he lived at Crookes. He was a also a mechanic. Does anyone know how I can get in touch? Also, does anyone have any recordings or photos? Thanks
