Hi vk7krj, you surely must be the Ken Johnson I had a scrap with behind the garages down at Owler Lane, unfortunately for me you won TKO and I had to explain 2 black eyes and a flat nose to about half the people at the school; even the teachers didn't question the dark glasses! My real handle is Adrian Hodgett, and I was in the year above you.

Thanks for that Glyn, I had thought it must be novemberish; now what was the iconic line that you finished on ... and thousands and THOUSANDS OF MEN!! or something like that... oh happy days. Now I just have to find someone who knows the whereabouts of Mick Carr and Mick Simpkins. I suppose inviting you and California Tyke to the Black Bull at Ecclesfield on the 10th july for The Cellermen gig is asking a bit much... thought so, but you may be there in spirit.

Hi again, bit new to this so Steve Radford first; yep thats definately the occasion, but you've got me mistaken, I was the drummer, the guitarist was Vernon Hazzlewood who at one time did have a futurama, the bass was Martin Willingham; any Idea of the date? Dennis next; I you can't remember the band maybe you didn't go to the speech day or maybe as I suspect the date was later in the year and you'd left anyway. Heap's name was deffo Ian and yes your steve did do some work for me.

Hi new, joiner here, I'm from the same era but I think 1 year older; I joined HH from owler lane as the 1st 5th year in (I think 1963), Ive heard from Glyn Senior before via freinds Re-united. I remember Ralph O'Donnell and Ian Heap ( sadist with a large plymsol) but my main question is can anyone remember the date of the first combined speech day held at Sheffield City Hall (only venue large enough for all 1100 pupils and proud parents). By the way I'm Adrian Hodgett also known as 'Hodge' and I'm trying to track down dates when my earliest band performed. If anyone remembers the speech day in question ( and Glynn Senior should with the performance that 'Hookey' coaxed out of him) we did a kind of time capsule show with a 'story-line' revolving around a lad who was 'chased' by imaginary police and as part of the story he went into a youth club at which our band did a cameo and played a couple of songs. So part one of the quest is to find the date of the Speech Day function and part two of the quest is to track down some of the other band members. The members we are looking for are Mick Simpkins ( a Firth Park lad but who may not be a HH pupil, and Mick Carr who was definately a HH pupil). I hope to hear from you soon.
