POLITE NOTICE ON GRINDON CLUBS BOILER.

GOT THE BEERS MAAATE!  OOH LAAVERLY...

LEO SAYER COMBINED BEING A PCSO DURING THE DAY AND BUSKING WITH HIS BEATEN UP GUITAR.

Cliff has always been brought up well he always picks his nose

in private !!

Nicely pressed shirt Johna shame ya jeans look

like you've been pickin potatos in them !! Its that

bleedin 'Rick' again. Got nicked from van outside

The Zeba Indian on Hylton Rd !! We all got out the van

pi**ed went in for a curry and left the bleedin van wide open.

Needless to say no more 'Rick'. Then again they would never

have nicked me kit !! (See next few photees)

How embarrassing is this !!!!!! What the F**k is the visor about !!

Looks like i've been cleaning the potatos with my towel too !!!

And notice i used some top quality cymbal stands!!

Mind we had a mega lighting rig !!  A bloody inspection lamp with tin foil wrapped around it with a red bulb in it !!!!

Could have done with puttin clean shoes on too !!  Hahahaha

Grindon Community Centre 1981 we think !! About 18 yrs old ish.

Struth good job we can laugh at each other !!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!    Matron

Ralfie fron Grindon Cluuuuurb!!!!!!!!!!!

This is extremely disturbing and should have an 18 certificate !!!

Must Be a copy That Rick ??? Sure i saw one like that lyin against an Indian Take away in Hylton Rd !!! How bizzarre that the gaffa tape on the right hand bass drum appears to join to the monitior !!!!

Johna must be giving the audience some of his patter cos Doz looks like ees off to sleep !!

Bobby has just got a new job at the post office as chief stamp licker !!

Bloody ell lads remind me not to have any of them pickled eggs again before we go on stage !!!!!!!!

Who's that dodgy lookin soundman ? Looks like a bit of a chutney Ferrett to me ? Is that the famous Bobby Tough in the front row admiring Doz's basies ?  'I really want to be like him when I grow up'. In fact I want his job !!!!!!!

Struth Cliff with hair !!!!!   Is he confused about something or farting ? Johna, a bleedin Hoover and the daft get is trying to play a bottom 'F' by the look of it ????  And what is it that Doz has hold of, a bleedin Fender floor mop !!!!

Nice Les Paul Pete. Shame about the small rodent on your top lip !!!!!!!!

Look like nice new jeans and trainers Johna ????????

What is this all about ????????? Knife and fork ??  Had Cliff just finished his tea ???????

Shear Khan The Grindon Mill circa 1981 ish i think. Johna on Bass, Cliff on drums and Doz on guitar. mega 80's adidas bag in shot !!!!

Fair play to Doz or should we say 'Zoro' for allowing us to put this one

up on site. Nothing much to say Doz mate except WHAT THE F**K !!

Most interesting use of the drum cases to support the WEM Copycat !!

Nice strat though bet that would be worth a few bob now !!

After giving me permission to use these photos Doz was quoted as

saying 'I think the cape was something to do with Brian May but i av'nt

got a friggin clue what the hat is about' !!!!

Zoro shreads !!!!!  Look at those lush flock curtains and a little peak at a quality PA system H/H 4 x 12 stacks. Absolute pure quality distortion at its best !!! Mind you they were the dogs bollocks in 1980 !!  

Nice shirt !!!!!!

I'm going to kill that monitor engineer if i can get hold of him !!!!!!!!

Kevin Webster from Corra !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is disturbing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before !!!!!!!!!

And after 12 pints of Stones !!!!!!!

This is also disturbing !!!!!!!!!!!

Pete allowed his guitar tech roadie Neil Schon in on this photo. Nice of him. Looks more like the Joker from Batman to me ????

Nice perm nice Mackintosh Bobby - and nice guy and player Mac !!!!!!!!!!!

Reasonably sensible...

.....not very sensible at all !!!!!!!!!!

Simmons bloody kit !!!!!!!!   I had to have one !!!!!!!!  Look at the bizarre way the snare mic stand is set up !!

Just so i can get me pint holder in gud position me thinx ???? Still got that and on stage with us now !!
