Steptoad   12 #37 Posted November 9, 2010 big ange,dave,dennis(now a muslim convert),alan,hev and husband(forgot his name),brian smith,chris kay,geoff bunting,dawn I've seen most of these people in the last year at some gig or other, most of them were at The Chesterfield Rock 'n' Roll club a couple of weeks ago. I imagine they'll all be there this weekend too as Furious (a "top Ted band") are playing.    he,s usually seen in his robes and prayer hat,walking round the market,king street,high street area,with big black steel cappers on. i once said "Alright Dennis"?? He went effing mad....."DONT CALL ME THAT....THATS NOT MY NAME!!!!" So now i dont bother,just give him a wide berth  I always found Dennis to be nothing less than very fiendly, even though I can never remember his new name, (I think it's Moisha). Maybe you caught him on an off-day:hihi:  HAHA sorry, its just cracking me up how the hell do you go from teddy boy to highly religious convert??  He was a born again Christian for a long time whilst he was a Ted.  yeah well back then you had loads of youth cults about, and most fought in the streets with each other mods and rockers, rockers came from the teddy boys of the 50s punks and mods skinheads and everybody lol  Apparently there was a big fight with Chavs recently too, but I hear the Chavs were asking for it.  the mercurys were more my scene,  Really? wow a Mercurys fan? we ought to have you stuffed.

My band, THe Lost Rockets, were at the bottom of that bill. It was the Mercurys first gig in years.  this the mercurys?  Aye that's them.  think moisha is a jewish name....oh dear,hope he dont see you give him a jewish name,you may just see how friendly he really is.  Ooooops!

Steptoad   12 #46 Posted November 9, 2010 (Sound of penny dropping) I think I know who you are now, didn't you do Johns tiger tattoo (amongst others).  I've had a quick look at all some of the places online that The Rockin Rebels mentioned on, but there's no sign of them. Quite a few other bands with the same name though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
