The band was made up of defaulters and men under punishment as I recollect. To answer the Town Sergeant's question: that would be Rivs Jordan who took the milk out of the cardboard box and split the plastic bag trying to squash it in the machine. Legend has it that rivs took it out of the box because handling the big bag of milk reminded him of a women he once went out with. A huge breast, just the one, which she would part down the middle with a special breast comb......... Sorry, got to go now, the nurse has come back in with my medication.

So - while I've got the scanner dusted and switched on - (and whilst Botty isn't here to instantly give us the names) who are these?

The names shouldn't be too difficult, but where are they playing?

A small clue - they were not in the same band at this time. (And probably never were actually, but I may be wrong - as usual.)

The one on percusion I cant recall the name. It was a while ago certainly pre September 1982 cos we lost dear old Bob on that day.

Definately Sid there Stu, but loitering rather than banging.
