Dont remember some of the acts listed above, being a sixties child I was more into the 80' bands

[GrahamY 10]

zeke started this off and now he's gone missing! I don't think of myself as being 'into', so much as being there at the time. You're right again, Frank married Jean and Dave married Lyn who are sisters. If the 80's was your period, what did you think of 10CC?

[zeke 10]

Eddie Falcon and the Tremors are the only ones I can't remember, but the rest I do. Chuck Fowler, Pete Fender, The Greycats, O'Hara's Playboys, The Daizies, Jimmy Crawford.

Thanks for the memories.

10CC are Ok not a big fan, but they have done some classics.

When I meant 80's, I was talking about Jam / Blondie etc.

 

Question

 

What is the link between Donny Osmond, Take That, and Local Band Boy on a Dolphin?

[GrahamY 10]

The Tremors were a Derbyshire band, we used to go to Lathkilldale Hotel every Sunday to see them. No bands on in Sheffield in those days.

 

Mikey, they've all played G&T's in Hoyland?

I thought 10cc were big in the early 70s ?

No - Local sax Player Steve Beighton - Has played with them all

[GrahamY 10]

I'll take your word for that. My next guess was going to be Marcus Saxilby on bass.

Landlord had 3 gorgeous daughters!!

I came across this site by accident, but I played in a band in Sheffield in the sixties and have lost touch with all the other former members. We were called the 'Corvettes' and were originally a 4 piece band with Don on lead guitar, myself on rhythm guitar, Phil on bass and Frank on drums. Later we were joined by 2 girl singers, Kit and Chris. We played gigs at the Cutlers Hall, City Hall ballroom, pubs and clubs in the Sheffield area. Wednesday nights at the Station Hotel in Rotherham for £8, what a gig!

 

I'd love to here from any of the former band members, or anyone who remembers us.
