‘THE BAND YEARS’ (From Day One): Some great old photos from the bands days in the 1960’s and 1970’s. When I was a young lad my lovely mum and dad bought me my first part drum kit in 1963 and as a school boy I worked part time on Kingston Market, and saved up my wages to complete my first full kit. I did my first drum solo in public as a school boy at the Rivermead School ‘Gang’ Show in about 19...

'Battle of the Bands' LP Record (1971): A photo show of one of the best 'rock' albums of the 1970's. Some of the bands featured were: The Impalas / Shakin' Stevens & the Sunsets / Rock n' Roll All Stars / Wild Angels / Gene Vincent & The Houseshakers. A brilliant album! I love all my old photos of the ‘band’ years, but must say the black and white ones are some of my favours! In this batch ther...

The Impalas at the London Palladium (November 1969): We played several gigs with Gene Vincent on his last two tours of the UK, including two sold out shows at the London Palladium with Gene Vincent, Wild Angels, Nashville Teens and Emperor Roscoe compared the shows. This is my full set of photos I took on the night, plus three taken when the girls went up to the London Palladium and met Roy Orb...

THE IMPALAS AT THE SWAN PH: Part 2 (1967 to 1973). I have made up several new photo montages and with a couple of the old ones, I think this is the ultimate photo show (Part 2). The Impalas played all over the UK, but for many years we had a regular Sunday night club at the Swan PH, Mill Street in Kingston. Playing at the Swan was the highlight of my playing week! The best buzz was going ‘home’...

‘ROCKMOBILE’ (1974): This is the ultimate ‘Rockmobile’ photo show of some of my montages I have made up in recent times for my RUclips channel and articles. The ‘Rockmobile’ band members were: Tony Collick on lead guitar and vocals, Terry Glasse on bass guitar and Keith Mott on drums. More great memories of the band years in this post! (June 2022)

THE ‘IMPALAS’ (1967 to 1973): This is the ultimate ‘Impalas’ / ‘Swan PH’ photo show of some of my montages I have made up in recent times for my RUclips channel and articles. More great memories of the band years in this post! (May 2022)

The late, great Eddie Cochran is one of my ‘all time’ favourite Rock n’ Roll artists. Eddie had a long string of hit records, being a brilliant singer and world class guitarist. I love listening to his records, a lot of the time at work in my office and really enjoyed playing his stuff with the ‘Impalas’ and 'Rockmobile' back in the day. My favourite Eddie Cochran track is ‘Summertime Blues’ an...

In my opinion Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were one of the greatest English Rock n’ Roll bands ever. I have loved their music since I was a young lad and still enjoy playing their records today. I think I’m right in saying, they are one of the ‘all time’ favourites of my ol’ guitarist mate Keith Read! My favourite Johnny Kidd track is ‘Shakin’ all over’ and loved playing it with most of the band...

"Rockmobile" live at the Telegraph in Brixton 1973 (Video Special): The ultimate "Rock n' Roll" photo show and Keith Mott's favourite four tracks by “Rockmobile”. The band members were: Tony Collick on lead guitar and vocals, Terry Glasse on bass guitar and Keith Mott on drums. Great days! (December 2021)

RPRA Southern Region Show 2021: The month of November saw fanciers make their annual drive up the M40 to High Wycombe for the RPRA Southern Region Show, which is one of the high lights of the show calendar in the South of England every winter. It was great to see this great event back on this season after being cancelled for two years because Covid, Bird Flu and who knows what! Once again this ...

Reg and Richard Maybey of Virginia Water: The loft that set the Surrey / Berkshire pigeon fancier alight in recent seasons was that of the late Reg Maybey and his son, Richard, who raced in partnership with their wives, Jocelyn and Silvie, plus Harold Coleman. The partners won the Three Borders Federation four times in one season and also won the Berkshire Federation four times, and to topped o...

Looking through my north road photo file, I found these great old pictures of North Road Championship Club Lerwick ‘Kings Cup’ winning lofts I have visited over the years. The Lerwick National has been a great tradition over many years! The NRCC was founded in 1901, basically to fly Lerwick, and the Kings Cup was presented to the club by King George V. Fanciers have to fly over 475 miles from L...

This is my complete set of 25 pigeon montage photos of our racing pigeons over the 50 years we were racing and showing. We were very lucky to own some great pigeons over the years and enjoyed some good success racing and in the show pen. There are some great memories in this batch of photos! (October 2021)

Keith & Betty Mott of Claygate: Five of our best racers and breeders over the last 50 years: I have had pigeon all my life and my brother Phil and I first started racing our pigeons in 1970. I was successful from day one and was lucky enough to own some ‘world class’ pigeons in that time. This photo show features what I consider to be five of my very best racers and breeders over the last 50 ye...
