Southend United Band

[Hawkwell Blue]

Before the Bromley game I was talking to a supporter and the drummer of a popular International Indie Band. I was wondering if there are enough proper musicians who support the blues to form a virtual band.

I know the bass guitarist of the legendary Dr Feelgood is a season ticket holder and goes home and away gigs permitting.

Alison Moyet could be on vocals so any more out there to complete the line-up?

As an old supporter of many, many years SUFC had our own Supporters Brass Band. They played and marched up and down the field at half time. The band leader had a long staff beating out the time as he led the band. Both men and woman in uniform.

I remember on one occastion it flicked out of his hand and stuck upright ahead of him in the turf, it was very funny.

John B Sparks was part of the original line up of Dr Feelgood and what a great rockin' band they were back then (I saw them twice and what a treat)--They covered Jerry Byrne's "Lights Out" and it was fabulous.

I bet he took some stick for it lol

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Yes, I remember. One of the members gave music lessons at Sweyne School on a one to one basis. The lessons were held in the Church Hall in Sir Walter Raleigh Drive. His name was Ted and the lessons were for brass instrument tuition only. Would have been around 1968 to 1970.

Funny, but don't think I've ever done that. I spend all my time digareeing with the crap you spout ?

Nice you thought of me tho ?

@Pale Blue Dot plays guitar and sings. He has his own band.

 

[Cricko]

@fbm also plays guitar and sings, well his singing bit is debatable.

 

[Cricko]

@South Bank Hank is brilliant on the keyboards.

 

[RobM]

Me on bass (Steinberger headless!)

 

[Benfleet A1]

I play triangle, available on request.

Ha! Cheers. Best I normally hope for is "complete and utter pianist". I'm sure that's what they've said, it just sounded a little different!

Saw Dr feelgood in the Shrimpers club many years ago. What a gig that was

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

I was in a group with Peter Knight at school, well the music teacher didn't want us in his class so told us to form a band with a few others and sent us to the cloakroom. Peter ended up with a triangle and I had a chime-bar. Come the day we had to perform to the school, Peter and myself said "cobblers to this". The thought of Peter playing a triangle in front of the whole school would have been priceless to watch.

He's famous for his organ.
