Till Man   10 #15 Posted March 30, 2009 Panza Division morphed into the Lonely Hearts, also fronted by Glenn. I remember a single - FM Fantasy I think - and saw them several times at various venues. Drummer was Bubbles, who I believe died a year or two back, bassist Andy Fisher, can't remember the other guitarist's name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
big500   10 #16 Posted August 31, 2010 The other guitarist was Rick Corcoran, Glenn now lives in Ibiza ( I´m currently sat at the side of him ) Steve Mitchell (Bubbles) passed away a few years ago. Andy Fisher is still playing with his band "Charlie Don´t Surf" Glenn is still active in the music business, look at his website for information - www(dot)glennmarples(dot)com  Big Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

wearysmith   140 #21 Posted January 29, 2020 I have photos from when Panzer Division played in Hillsbro' at the Sheffield Show. Must have been '77 or '78 as the headliners were Def Leppard.  One of the great never-made/missed opportunity albums must be concerning Ponders End (not sure if there should be an apostrophe). They were, as I'm sure some of you of a certain vintage will recall, a splinter band from Bitter Suite. My friends and I saw them play Crookes Workingmen's Club and they ROCKED. Upset the toothless beer & bingo mildew crowd. These guys meant business. After they'd come out of the dressing room we spoke to a couple of members. Said how much we'd enjoyed the set and we were convinced they were meant for Bigger Things. They said that they were due to record an album in Germany. We rubbed our hands in anticipation. To my knowledge that never happened. Shame.  So.....anybody know any Ponders End members? Any gig photos exist? I used to know a bloke called Jan Kaminski. You remember him. A big lad that took all the photos down the front at City Hall gigs. Lost touch when he moved to Chesterfield. Bet he'd have an absolute treasure trove of local band photos as well as the big name acts. I bought a few things off him through the years. Shots of The Runaways, the Strawbs, the Bureau, Bryan Ferry.... Not seen him on the scene for the longest time so I'm speculating he may have passed.
