Lovelylily   10 #673 Posted September 13, 2013 Does anyone remember the "Pete Lloyd Four"...."Pete Lloyd and the Strangers" or the "Ryall Brothers"...... As seen at the "Mailcoach" in Rotherham late fifties and the "Blue Bell" in Hackenthorpe early sixties along with a few other places.?  My dad was a coach painter and sign writer and put The Strangers name on the side of their van. They used to practise at Bramley Welfare Hall every week and my sister and I used to go and watch them. I believe they came from Rawmarsh.

*Belle* Â Â 10 #674 Posted September 15, 2013 I knew the boys out of New Jersey Turnpike there was Bob Holt, Pete, Ivor, and someone else and I am sure that they changed their name at one point. Â Â I believe that they were previously 'The Wolves'. I seem to remember one of the members was called Ross ...?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

acman   10 #676 Posted November 26, 2013 I believe that they were previously 'The Wolves'. I seem to remember one of the members was called Ross ...??  That's correct, Ross Grant, The Wolves, went on to form Quinceharmon, then some of them went on to form New Jersey Turnpike, The Wolves were Ross Grant, Bass player, Ivor Drawmer, Keyboards, Pete Jowle, Guitar, Bob Holt, Vocals, the drummers were Roger Harrison & Pete Wardlow. Ross & Pete Jowle also did main vocals as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
old tup   30 #677 Posted November 27, 2013 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.  We used to see Eddie Falcon and the Tremors most weekends at the Lathkildale Hotel the top side of Bakewell in the 60s!.Used to love it out there at the weekendings the only downside was the dodgy journey home to Sheffield when everyone was full of drink and fancied themselves as Fangio,great times!.I think Eddie Falcon operated more round Chesterfield and Derbyshire than the Sheffield area so maybe that's why Zeke can,t remember!.

zeke   10 #678 Posted November 27, 2013 Have a programme for a show at the City Hall organised by Pete and Geoff Stringfellow on 23 Jan 1964. It says it's the 1964 Show but I'm sure it was called the 2 Cities R&B Show. It was called that cos it featured bands from Sheffield and Manchester In order of appearance :  Bobby Dene and the Nocturnes Dave West and the Cherokees Vance Arnold and the Avengers Lorraine Gray and the Chaperones Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders Interval Dene and the Deputies Johnny and the Cadillacs Dave Berry and the Cruisers The Hollies  The programme also promotes The Black Cat and The Blue Moon and a great R&B disc by The Sheffields ' It must be love ' on the Pye Label Youll like this Jimmy Saville says ' A dead ringer for the charts'  I was that musician with Bobby Dene and the Nocturnes; I had forgotten all the bands who were on that show.

cuttsie   1,090 #680 Posted December 5, 2013 So many early 60s bands (Groups) not mentioned in that book. ---------- Post added 01-08-2013 at 16:59 ----------     Exactly, most don't realise what a thriving scene in Sheffield there was prior to the emergence of Beatlemania which then kicked it into overdrive.  ---------- Post added 01-08-2013 at 17:03 ----------  Stewart was Rod The Mod, just the fill in whilst Baldry who was the featured vocalist took a break. We chatted to LJB (when he took the break) about the Cyril Davis All Stars  ---------- Post added 01-08-2013 at 17:04 ----------   Wasn't it Chris Garfield? Sorry Garfield, I was a friend of his late wife Jayne who was head teacher at a school in Eckington during the miners strike.  ---------- Post added 05-12-2013 at 19:34 ----------  We used to see Eddie Falcon and the Tremors most weekends at the Lathkildale Hotel the top side of Bakewell in the 60s!.Used to love it out there at the weekendings the only downside was the dodgy journey home to Sheffield when everyone was full of drink and fancied themselves as Fangio,great times!.I think Eddie Falcon operated more round Chesterfield and Derbyshire than the Sheffield area so maybe that's why Zeke can,t remember!.
