fishead 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I used to gig in Nottingham in the 80s with the Purple Leaders. Can anyone remember the likes of Stumble Brothers, One Million Fuzztone Guitars, Dicko and Lee and the omnipotent (and probably still playing) Colin Staples? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 304 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Ayup Stormy Your (stage) surname wouldn't have been Tempest by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stormy 1 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi GIGA NOTTSTALGIAN -------------- That`ll be the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 304 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 We had a lad on (When I helped run entertainments at Catchems Corner Basford) Who's stage name was "Stormy Tempest" It's Beefsteak by the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stormy 1 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sorry about the name Beefsteak I got called Stormy accasionally as I was into Merseybeat. The film "That`ll be the day" was a parody of that era. Billy fury and his band (Keith Moon on drums) were playing the part of Rory Storm and the Hurricains - using the name "Stormy Tempest" From Beatleland to Basford - cant be bad Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I saw Fisheads post (#1) regarding Colin Staples. I've seen the Colin Staples Blues Band many times and enjoyed his jam sessions. I was surprised to see that fisheads post was from July 2006. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
