When Liz or you see Ed again, ask him if you could join the "Duster's Convention" his jaw will drop and he'll buy you a pint for sure.

Goodonya Dalehelms, it would be good to learn if those blokes I mentioned in my original post are still belting out the tunes.Ed & his wife Anne were good friends of my late parents Frank & Wynne.Cheers Andy

Heh. I've been using the same rehearsal room as them since they started. Never thought they'd get anywhere. Shows how much I know... If RP played the Haddon, they must have stopped having bands on a lot later than I thought. Late 90s maybe?

Just to say that Ed O'Donnell will be playing at The Grey Horse Pub, next to Kirkgate station in Wakefield, this Thursday........and Pashy, Liz's name is Neylan. I'm hoping she'll come up with the names of the current band members.

Dalehelms my new mate.Almost forgot--Is Liz,Liz Neylan the artist ?If so she might have known my Dad Frank Pash who was quite a well known Leeds artist in the early 60s. And she might have known Anne O'Donnell who was a lecturer in jewelry design at the Leeds College of Art.Cheers again,

Yes Pashy, she is indeed Liz the artist. She knows both Ann and Ed. I'm having lunch with her on July 24th. The plan is to log on to SL and for her to furnish you with any information that she has. Before long you'll be back over here for a 60's Jazz reunion courtesy of SL! Pity their budget wont be able to stretch to your fare!
