Hi Bruce, thanks for the comment. I couldn't find any info on a drummer either.Pretty strange.
Always loved this single, still pay it regularly. Any chance of adding us to your blogroll, I've added you. Check us out http://polyvinylcraftsmen.blogspot.com/
No problem, thanks for the comment.
Dunno where bristolboy got his info but the only accurate thing is John D Hastings being the singer the line up was
Lead Vocals/Guitar:- John D Hastings
Lead Guitar:- Tom Atkinson
Bass Guitar:- Alan Massey
Drums:-Cliff Massey
John is from Redcar, Tom is from Middlesborough and Alan and Cliff are cousins from Stockton On Tees
I have known Tom , Alan and Cliff for many years Alan in particular as I was at school with him and started a couple of bands with him.
So they are from the Cleveland area not Kilbride.
A great band saw them live many,many times just a shame they never got the recognition they deserved.
Thank You for the info, and the comment, I'll update the post.
Info came from 2 places
Mario's "45 Revolutions" - I'm sure he's unhappy to find there may be a mistake.
Mod Pop Punk

It Happens, I have a volumes book that I find mistakes in all the time, and that was released in 1980. It's tough to find acurate info on these bands sometimes.
True - & that's why 1st hand comments like BassmanUK's are so usefull to us poor bloggers
As an update, John is now living in South London, still writing new material.
Thanks for the update!
