A Photo Album of the Band, Friends, Family and Wardrobes
This isn't actually The Fred Bloggs Band, but one of the first bands that I played with in Bristol, The Inmates and friends.
The bandleader, Harry, is in the centre. I think this was taken at a club in Portishead about 1974.
Guitarist Jerry is on the lap of Harry's girlfriend and bass player Roger is far right.

Barbara with guitarist Diz Disley in Spain, 1974.
One summer Disley drove down to Southern Spain in his Daimler Hearse car, loaded with several musicians, guitars and luggage. This photo shows Dizley in his beard period as compared to his later sporting of a mustache.
