Re: 70's group called Child

Oh yes I remember Child very well . Mike and Ev lived next door to each other and mates and I spent many a day hanging around outside their houses. Mikes Mum used to make us tea & sandwiches and let us use her loo! Mikes wee sister was called Yvonne. Saw Child in concert in Edinburgh a few times and I used to talk to Grahams Mum and Keith & Tims brother, Simon, on the phone quite regularly. Until my folks got a "rather large" phone bill and they soon put a stop to that. The follys of youth lol.

Les Mcqueen played on several 'Child' hits as a session guitarist. He is better known as leading axe man for Creme Brulee - Royston Vaseys finest ...

Re: 70's group called Child

I think this group had a song called "To Be Alone" on a compilation album I owned but whose title I've forgotten.

Re: 70's group called Child

I remember them. I worked in a Pub in Sherburn and the landlords daugher was going out with Graham. He used to pop in from time to time and I remember being absoloutly awestruck when I received a Xmas card from both of them! The twins I think..lived close by in Fairburn

Re: 70's group called Child

I might be totally wrong here, but did they do a song called "cruel to be kind" in about 1979?

That was Nick Lowe wasn't it?

Re: 70's group called Child

All I remember was my friend was mad about a group called child, and she went to see them,and cameback with badges and stuff. Might be one of those songs that has been done by a few singers?
