rtgibson   10 #25 Posted September 15, 2010 I know this is an old thread but I saw Pete Childs (aka Pete York of Pete York & The Pontiacs fame) last night - 14th Sep 2010. He was my guitar teacher about 20 years ago and I randomly bumped into him at The Attic rehearsal studios - his son rehearses there and he'd gone to watch him. My dad used to do a bit of roady'ing for them back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bassman62 Â Â 10 #29 Posted September 19, 2010 Got a photo of my old band 'The Drumbeats' in the 'Retro' section of this Saturdays (18th Sept) Sheffield Star along with a shot of me after I'd joined the army in 66. As someone said there were so many Groups/Bands on the Sheffield scene especialy the early to mid 60s, we averaged 4-5 gigs per week (and held down daytime jobs) yet like most others never gat a mention in the 'Not Like A Proper Job' book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
