That was excellent Jim,looks like Mal Hooley(RIP)on bass behind the long hair and beard, he was a great bass player even at 16. Could be wrong as I wasn't up with the scene that late in the decade, so don't recognise the name of the band, I knew Mal in the early 60s when that look had not yet arrived.lol. The lead guy sounded a bit like Peter Green,founder of Fleetwood Mac, but forgot what he looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking aloud and guessing, because the guy had a similar style and I did know he had played Weston Park around that era. Not 100% sure the bass player is Mal Hooley either to be honest, but behind all the hair there was a resemblance and he could certainly play great. Talking of Sheffield musicians, and this guy also started out playing bass,can there be anyone with a more prolific body of work than this lad from Woodseats, check the list : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Stainton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetleys also did a premium bitter costing a penny or two more. I think it was called Imperial but only a few pubs sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused about Imperial, so checked Wiki and it was introduced in 2002, long after my time over yonder, Apparently, it was specifically brewed to target NE Yorkshire and was named 'Teeside's own beer'. Maybe that's why it wasn't abundant in Sheffield. Edited November 30, 2019 by Ontarian1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
