Gary Brooker went to Westcliff High

These New Puritans

Suprised to find that none of the original Procul Harum were born in Southend although BJ Wilson was brought up here.

Gary Brooker went to Westcliff High

But was born in Hackney and MK's rules clearly state at least one member of the band must be born within a 20 mile radius. None of Procul Harum were, I'm not even sure about Barna's nomination of The Paramounts, were the two members who didn't go on to be in Procul born in Southend area?

I could nominate The Band of Hope, my dad's folk band from the 60's, I know he was born within a 20-mile radius! :hilarious:

Hmm, can't find any evidence of that, and on that basis, they're out.

I love Dr Feelgood.They're probably my all time favourite Southend band.Just thought The Paramounts deserved a mention.Never saw them live but I remember their Poison Ivy single well.Gary Brooker's influence on the whole local scene has been immense.
