| THE RAPIERS have been labelled the best 60's band since the 60's! Champions of utterly cool, early '60s UK rock 'n' roll epitomized by the likes of the legendary Shadows, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates and other stars. Often feature Kidd's material onstage. | ||||

Before that, he was a champion harmonica player, a member of the Viscounts, and wrote the song that sent Kidd sailing back into the Top Ten in 1963. | ||||
| WILKO JOHNSON Influenced by Mick Green? Not half.... | ||||
| TEENAGE HEAD Canadian band whose first album was mixed by Alan Caddy, and which is now available on CD. They're still going, long after their teenage years.... | ||||
