'The Blue Jean Rockers..'
"Hi Bill.. I just stumbled across your website, fantastic!! I am an ole-timer and am trying to get information about a band in the mid to late 1950's from Lancashire. Maybe they did the Colne area. They were called The Blue Jean Rockers. I think they had a drummer or guitarist by the name of Vincent Vinny. Can you help at all?" Regards. Jim Day: April 2012
'Whip-O-Wills..'
"Hello again Bill.. I wrote to you recently about my oldest brother Peter and his group from the 50s and 60s - The Strollers. My mother has a business card with a picture of another group called the 'Whip-O-Wills' from the late 60s and 70s. The singer and guitarist was Ronnie 'I think?' Carney. He was very good. The bass players face is familiar but I cant remember his name and of course Peter was lead guitarist. I wonder if anyone remembers them?" Michael Vose: April 2012

Hey Joe!
"I'm trying to get in touch with an aquaintance of mine. His name is Joe. I've forgotten his surname. He lived in the houses where the Scout Hut was in Liverpool Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan.
He would be in his Late 60's or early 70's now. He played bottleneck guitar and often got up and played with Oggie in the Platt Bridge Inn in the 1990's.
He worked at Metal Box in Westhoughton. If anybody knows him can you tell him Phil from Abram is trying to get in touch with him." Contact.. bill@lankybeat.com |

JANE QUINN HAS A FAB JOB..
Upon contacting Lanky Beat about her new and exciting musical project, I met up with Jane and husband Tim at their house in Southport to find out more about what she seems to be so thrilled about. Over hot tea and cup cakes it didn't take me long to understand what a fab job she really has procured for herself: It being a true labour of musical love.
Jane explains, "I have been asked to help out on a project that is so much fun to anyone who loves music as I do. I'm working for the wonderful Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
The MIM http://www.themim.org is in the organisational stages of an exhibition of musical instruments used during the legendary British Invasion of the USA between 1964-1966. What they require at this stage are commitments for instrument loans from those musicians who were there at that amazing time. A few of those who have already confirmed are:
John Lennon, through family
Brian Jones, through family
Pete Townshend
Donovan
Eric Burdon
Kenney Jones
Ronnie Lane
Ron Wood
Ian Whitcomb
*NEW NEW NEW* Jeremy Clyde of Chad & Jeremy, Mike Smith of the Dave Clark Five, Denis Payton of the Dave Clark Five, Peter Asher of Peter & Gordon, ...and Keith Moon's drum kit.
If you have three minutes to spare, look at this video which tells more about the museum and its aims: http://vimeo.com/21956988
If you too have any contact information for Jane, please get in touch. She'll be delighted to hear from you.. So Gerry Marsden, Bobby Elliott and Graham Nash of the Hollies - just to name three - get that old gear out of the attic right now.. Insurance and shipping paid for.

Lanky Beat Sound
Hi Bill
Would it be possible to offer an active music page, where people could place original songs for viewers to listen to, or with a direct link to 'You Tube'.
Unfortunately, very few bands on your website have original songs on 'You Tube'. Those bands which have original songs on 'You Tube' are the bands which were given a recording contract by an established record company, with most songs being only officially released singles.
I am sure, that many bands wrote and recorded songs, but were never given the chance to release them as a single or have them on a compilation album. It would be extremely interesting to hear such songs - I am sure many readers and musicians feel the same. Who knows! There may be some classics out there somewhere, which equal or better the ones we know so well.
All the very best
Ian Poulson

Okay... this is a great idea Ian.
This will really put the beat sound into Lanky Beat.
If you Lankylanders have any material you wish to submit either direct to me for uploading or via You Tube etc then please, please me and let me know...

STEVEN JERVIS
Drummer
Originally Steven Jervis played with
Billy Barker & The Envoys. I live in Canada and I am looking for information about him.
I lost track of many other bands he played with. Apparently he was well regarded - as was evident at his funeral and 'wake' at the Hindley Conservative Club, Wigan a couple of years ago.

Hi Bill,
I noticed in your Lankypedia Bands Index that you never had a photo of The Vaqueros. I have been looking to trace a very good friend of mine called John Kearns, he was on the drums. We were brought up together in a convent in Billinge, and was in fact my best mate. 55 years have passed since I left the convent and just recently, somebody put me onto your site and told me to get in touch with you. My name is Nicky Cunningham, I would be very grateful for any information regarding his current whereabouts or what he may be doing now. This is a long shot but I really would appreciate any leads you could send my way.
kind regards.
Nick
Hi Nick.
I have a response for you.. Please get in touch below...

LANKY BANDS IN 1960's HAMBURG
Hi Bill
I hope you can help with some information about bands from Lankyland who played in Hamburg between 1960 and 1967. I think all band’s are important and I will put it in my book coming out next year.
Musicians or contemporary witnesses can contact me:

TWO GROUPS..
"Bill
Two groups that I am looking for more information of is Johnny President & The Senators of which I think they came from Lancashire and The Thunderbeats - from Preston. Both seem to be very interesting for me - any chance ?
Thanks and best regards.."

TWO VENUES..
"Hi Bill, I wonder if anyone has info on Flintstones Cave in Oldham. It was a club we The Incas had a regular booking at but I can't find much on the internet about it apart from the odd reference. Here's hoping."
Terry Broughton: September 2010
PS: "We often did two sessions in the one night, the other at The Pyramid in Rochdale - any memories of that one?"
BRUCE HARRIS
& THE CAVALIERS..
Lankyland
Michael Anthony Jenion - better known as Tony Jenion
was the drummer with Bruce Harris & The Cavaliers
"I am currently trying to put together a scrap book of pictures and other bands he worked with for our family history. I know he did play at the Cavern, more than once I think, although I am not 100% sure. As we are in Australia, its a little difficult to get to the areas he worked in with the bands. These were Wigan, Leigh, Warrington, Manchester etc.
If you have anything that you can share with me, information or links to other sites which maybe helpful I would really appreciate it."
Kind regards
