started late 1979 as a trio featuring larry gott on guitar and dave smith on drums.
joined by bass playing singer jeannie harris when she returned from dubai.
spent three months in dubai followed by six weeks at butlins in minehead. jeannie left during the minehead season and the band reverted back to a trio.
this period is documented in stuart maconie's book about the manchester
band JAMES titled "folklore" but
the following two month tour of germany, and six week tour of sicily is
'missing' from the book. strange as it was a very eventful four months that
saw the band stranded in snow in germany, spending three days sleeping in
the van in genoa due to a broken clutch cable, electrocuting the guitarist
and having most of their money stolen!!!
Unsurprisingly, on the return to
the uk the band called it a day.
larry gott went on to find fame with the band james and became a furniture
designer.
2008 finds larry back on the road with james.
