Trevis: Only remember some of these bands 'cause my dad used to play bass fiddle with some of them, but he was mainly resident with Joe Rigby at the Ambulance Drill Hall. Learnt some of the old time dances from being very young. Happy memories of bass fiddle strapped on top of van and he plastering up his finger tips to prevent any abrasions.

Thats one day i wont forget in a hurry as I was in the BSU roomes above what is now the games store. Old flicks and the Ruours next door oh the memories well the sober ones any way. Those wernt bad days really as a weekend drinking session was fun esp the Rumours.
Brings a tear to the eye when I look back at then and look at now.
