Old Sheff bands of the 80's +90's

[Reesh2052]

I used to play bass in Rough Copy, I remember being in the same heat as Snap 14 at the Top Rank suite. Hi to you Paul, did we do a gig with you guys at The Limit later? Rough Copy also supported The Damned at the Poly on the Rock on the Rates scheme. There is a photo of us in the Martin Lilleker book, Beats Working For a Living, my kids did not know me and laughed very loud when I told them it is me. Seems a million years away now and probably is. I am still playing now, will be at The Dusty Miller, Barlborough 14/05/2005.

 

Yes it was a plug!!

 

I remember Rough Copy well, Pete Carter, Mark Crossley, Tommy Harrison and Gareth. I remember going down to the Leadmill building before Rough Copy got together as a full band. The room that they used was in a death defying location, you could see the floor below through the floor boards. I still play the Demo tape, as l attended nearly every gig l could. Long live rock n roll....and the Truth Remains!!!!

I think there's a picture of Rough Copy on the wall in The Frog & Parrott. I saw them playing with Splash/Snap14 upstairs in The Marples so long ago I've gone grey and bald in the meantime...

I was very likely there with you too. Their name was sprayed very neatly too on the wall of the City hall at one time. Not done by the band members l can assure you.

Anyone remember 'Night Train' 50 style rock & roll band from Crookes? They played the University on the first ever Comic Relief night???

Or

the Nearly Band from Nether Edge - Did a mean version of 'White Rabbit'?

 

Wahaaaaay! Si, erstwhile singer with the Nearly Band here - Good to get a name check among such illustrious company of other 'nearly' bands.

 

Phil Murray and the Boys From Bury - what an act and still going strong... Up there with Half Man Half Biscuit on the genius comedy front. I can still recite whole songs of theirs.

Hi Ryzard. I guess it's you.

If you have any means of converting that demo tape into mp3's i'd love to hear it. And Mark too i think. He apparently doesn't have any of the old Rough Copy stuff.

Hi Paul,

 

l don't have anything to convert the tape to mp3 but l will see if l can find someone to do it and let you know.

Sharp Cuts - these are still going but not the full original line, they used to busk on Fargate, I hear they are planning a 25Th year bash at the city hall

 

I remember seeing them on Saturday afternoons on Fargate and saw them at a wedding last year, only original one is (I think) the guitarist, Steve, who looks EXACTLY the same as he did back then and does not seem to have aged at all!!!!!
