I have to say that when I read this thread the name didn't ring a bell, mind you I haven't been in Accy drinking for 30 years, but when I saw the photo in the Obs yesterday I suddenly realised who Isaac's was, he used to come to practice sessions with the band back in the 70s always brought his own drumsticks and like to sit in for a few numbers I knew him as Geoff though RIP

Would imagine you'd know his mate, Florrie, too - ex-Holy Family and another good drummer!

Wyn probably do mate, but maybe I know him under his real name, although Florrie does ring a bell somewhere

Would estimate about the same age as Isaac - 63-ish. Perhaps a couple of years younger than you, so possibly your paths didn't cross. Cashy knows him very well.

A couple of years is nowt at our age, but a big gap when you're a teenager. Would imagine you'd probably know Florrie by sight.

Kev was in the same class as me at school. I'm surprised you don't remember him. Bit like Issac, he was Leg end in his own time.

Right, I've a question - why was he called "Isaac"? I was talking to a mate of mine earlier and he suggested that it might be after Isaac Hayes. However, I knew him as Isaac right from the mid-60's, when Isaac Hayes was completely unknown, so it seems unlikely. Anybody any ideas?

Right, cheers, mate. Isaac Hayes, future soul superstar was just some unknown bloke hanging around Memphis in '62, so that's that theory out of the window!
