Like Cashy, I always knew him as Issac. Again like Cashy its probably in the early 1960s when I first met Issac. His mum. and dad lived at the bottom of Manchester Rd, around about were the Park Inn is. Cashy's right if anybody knows its Vito or Kev.

Yeah, they lived on the block below Christ Church Street. Remember going round to his house once. As you say, hopefully Florrie or Vito will know the answer!

Ya I've been thinking about it since Wyn mentioned him yesterday, I certainly remember you, but florrie, just can't put a face on him although the name does ring a bell

He was drummer with the Francis T. Construction. Think Atarah once posted a pic of 'em posing by the side of the market hall.

I've just put the bands name in the search and it came up with an Obs clip, but Florrie wasn't on the photo, the only one I recognised was Tom Robinson

There's no particular reason why you should remember from school. It was just that he was in few groups at that time.

Right aint seen Kev or Vito, but was talking to another owd mate this morning, n he reckons Isaac was derived from the fact, he was in the school choir n someone called it him n it stuck............ seems credible to me!

The only ones I can remember in conection with groups are Frannie and Tommie Franks, I was in the same class as Frannie from starting at HF in 59 to leaving in 62, never really bothered with the group scene until the mid to late 70s Bernard

Seems credible enough. I can never really imagine Isaac being a choirboy!
