Nice post DaveD.....I always remember them finishing their first spot with Freddie spraying a full can ofair-freshener whilst wearing a gas mask to the joke "the train arriving on platforms5,8 ,6 and 13 is...coming in sideways !!" didnt he used to lift the mask up and declare to everyone "" I'm not right !!!!"

Re: Beano

Re Beano, Fred does indeed live in Tenerife, John lives in mold, ken & myself Ray live in Birkenhead, I still play the drums in a club and still playing the same Slingerland kit I bought from The Newcastle Drum Shop in 1973 at a cost of £300. What a great time we all had in the 70s. Regards to everyone who remembers the Band.

Me and my Bro saw you in the Aquarius in the 80s. Loved your cover of Doctor Doctor !!!

Just found this thread... I used to watch the Reason Why at the Trog Bar in Hull, with my then girlfriend (we're still married)! I played guitar in a band also managed by Robin Carew, and also named from his comic collection 'Bash Street Kids' and later 'Satin'. We often stayed at 'Rita's' pro digs somewhere near Bishop Auckland at the same time as you guys. Great times. Hope you're all still keeping well.
