O'hara's Playboys ! Anyone Remember ?

[beezerboy 12]

Thought this may be a good place to ask how a a kid I knew on Horndean Rd

made out. He originally played in a skiffle group and I know he played in a rock group in the 60's on the W M Clubs. They called him Neil Bridges

Hi Peter,

I was the roadie for O'Hara's Playboys in the 60's we all lived in Harcourt Road, Sheffield. I remember Wee Davy and Billy Simpson, I have been long life pals and in bands with with David Bowker also. Sad to hear of Wee Davy's passing.

Would be good to hear from you.

Hi all,

 

Not sure if anyone remembers my Uncle Pete (Campbell) who joined in the late sixties. 
 

He was a scouser like me but weirdly I’ve also lived on Harcourt Rd in Sheffield! No 105. 

I think my uncle Pete replaced Jimmy McLachlan on guitar?

Didn't they originally  come from Wolverhampton ?

The last time I saw John O’Hara perform was in the Nag’s Head on Shalesmoor about 20 years ago. Is he still with us?

I was talking to a guy in Ingoldmells about 2 years ago said he played drums in Oharas Playboys.

Little Dave McHarg was the drummer in the O Hara Playboys along with Bill Mathieson.

John passed a few years ago as did Dave not sure if Bill is still around.

Davy also played drums for the Glitter Band
