I guess the Jodimars have nothin`to do with the Comets?!

I WAS AT THIS CONCERT........

[1272E49]

So was I! I brought them over from the U.S....they had no idea what to expect!

[albertparsley]

nope - can't spot myself on this either, what a great weekender that was, Johnny Hale knew how to hold a party & a cider farm nearby too.

I remember my introdcution. Dick said "and now on piano........." and clearly couldn't remember who I was, and then "the man himself.....(frantic prompting from the band.....Chris Gardner"

Happy days

Nice to see me on Youtube. Rik, where did you get this clip? I was aware that Jason Pittham had videoed most of the show (at least until he was overcome by emotion). Have you got any more numbers from it?

[rikhull]

Dave H. suppliied me with the tapes shot with Marshall's camcorder and also I think Joey's. Some songs are not complete, but I'll upload the best of them. Look out in the next installment for your introduction!

[Haleyzz]

That's Chris Gardner on piano and Peter Davenport on lead guitar

[saskabush2006]

Thanks for posting this, Rik. Who are the other musicians - are they Stargazers? That looks like Ricky Lee Brawn on drums but it's hard to tell.

[HerefurdUnited]

Yes it was Ricky & Pete from the Stargazers.

This was the very first original Jodimars/Comets gig outside USA since the 50s/60s. On later tours as the Original Comets they also had original lead guitarist Fran Beecher and drummer Dick Richards played rather than "just" sang as at Brean.

I still have the Brean programme somewhere...

GREAT STUFF RIK, thanks a lot !!
