(all these pics of beautiful people gone old and gray and stories of folk dying is making me feel very mortal.)

Sorry I made you help feeling this way. But I did not post those pictures to show our heroes gone old and grey. Well, except maybe for the Jimmy Nicol one. I mean, to me, they're still heroes. And I don't mind getting older myself. Age brings wisdom and knowledge and that is a great thing to have. Youth is a wonderful time, but it should not come so early in life. Look at Patti, or Klaus and Astrid. Or maybe even Gerry Marsden in this last pic. Man, these people are happy people with a story to tell.

Cheers for your words of wisdom. I'M GOING TO BE FIFTY IN TWO YEARS!!!
Oh well. And I could look at Patti all day.

ps - coming to Liverpool???? It would be uber-cool to catch up with you.

I've just checked - average life span = 74.9*. So I should have another 24 years. Take off the last four in case I'm in nappies again. Twenty years. That's like from 27 till now. Holy sh*t. Never did shag the Soviet Womens Gymnastics Team.

If anyone's interested - chickens do 8 to 10. Longer than I would have thought.

Ha! I'd love to. But it's going to be tight... Mrs Bobber had already made plans to be out on that specific weekend. And since there's a couple of kids running around here, I would be the one that's home. They can't go elsewhere, for mrs is out with the family where the kids are usually staying when we're off. But since she's pregnant and throwing up all the time, I might have a rescue there.   Nasty eh? But it would be a last minute flight and probably spending a night in Apps pick up truck or whatever...

Cynthia Powell

Patti Boyd

Oh my God! Did Pattie have some terrible accident with a plastic surgery knife? She looks somehow strange. Somehow botoxified

Maybe she did. Anyway, Cynthia could use it too.

Neil Aspinall:

^ So he's stopped the craze with the hats? Denial in its purest form  ..

Quoted from Kate

I think she looks pretty good for a woman her age. Not entirely natural maybe, but still pretty good. You can see she used to be very pretty.

The Overtures (who played at my Sixties Night) meet Pattie Boyd/Harrison/Clapton.

Allan Williams

I think that's the tour promoter Sid Bernstein, it's not Allan Williams

This is Allan Williams with Bob Wooller (Cavern DJ/announcer) taken a few years back.

This is Sid. I guess you're right, Alan.

booyah bump!!!

What fun! I had no idea Tony Sheridan was still around. Er... he still is, isn't he? That's not a really old article, I hope!  

Anyway, nice to see you, Tony! Cheers.

Good pics, I hadn't noticed this thread before. Cheers Marshall for the bump.

Oh btw, I think Patti looks fabulous!

the tony photos are owned by me and bobber...one of a kinds.....

Oh, that's fabulous, PC31! Your own photos.

I think Patti looks fabulous too, by the way. And Klaus and Astrid and Pete-- very much alive and looking good. Three cheers for the elderly contingent!  

Pattie Boyd

Good pic Bobber! So that's what she looks like these days!

In the 27 July photo the one on the extreme right is Ricky Richards, one of the original members of the Jets, who were the first British group to go to the Kaiserkeller (are the four of them former Jets, because Tony was a member?). Ricky was about to give me lots of information and documents regarding their time in Hamburg, but got run over and killed by a car about 18 months ago.

i was emailing ricky when his website first got put on the web trying to get tony info he answered once but never again..i guess his demise was why....so now you see why it is important to have you here??the rick hardy story would have been greatly informitive but now that chance is gone forever.....i am so glad you opted to join....did i ever say thanks?thanks bill

Here's a piece I wrote about the Jets, if it's of interest:

The Jets were first British rock band to perform in Hamburg. Some of the members were present in the 2 1s coffee bar in London when Bruno Koschmider arrived looking for bands for the Kaiserkeller. Pianist Iain Hines said he had a group and used the name the Jets, which he had also called his previous bands. Initially, it took a few days to put the band together because they had difficulty finding a drummer. However Iain failed to show up at Liverpool Street Station when the group departed on 4 June 1960. They tried hard to find a lead guitarist, with musicians such as Keith Charles and Joe Moretti turning them down. Finally, after a meeting at Chas. McDevitt’s Freight Train cafe they decided to ask Tony Sheridan. The Jets began rehearsing on the boat over to the Continent. They comprised Tony Sheridan on lead guitar and vocals, Pete Wharton on bass guitar, Colin Milander (real name Colin Crawley) on vocals and rhythm guitar, Rick Richards (also known as Rick Hardy) on vocals and rhythm guitar and Del Ward on piano and vocals.
