The East Side Torpedoes - On Such a Night as This

[xsteellll]

Upstairs at The Travellers Rest

Brilliant!!

[talkwench]

Used to travel from Darlington to The Playhouse in Newcastle on Sundays to hear them play, good to hear they're still around..

[Redruth49]

I've just come back from one of their gigs. Neil is still singing and writing, and Sharon is still dancing at the front of the stage. They do actually have a girl on backing vocals now, as well as three original Torpedoes in the band. Check out the Smokin' Spitfires and a Happy New Year.

I rate myself as very lucky to have been involved with the band for so many years. Thirty two years since the first gig at The Traveller's Rest, Darlington.

Loved this band, Lin was a great guy.

Great to hear these tracks again. I saw Neil a couple of weeks ago, he was playing at the Maggie Bank when we were on at the Garricks Head

[allyokay]

I was at the Assembly rooms on a Tuesday and the playhouse on a Sunday morning

Fantastic Band - Good times

[bozobingbox]

They played at our wedding. How they never made the big time I'll never know, especially with all the crap that was out there at the time - sometimes the music business sucks. They got taken under Chas Chandler's wing at some point ... but sadly it didn't happen.

me took this brings back down many happy memories. Living down in devon met Neil H on my honeymoon in 88 in newquay singing in another band. Great guy.

God this takes me back to nights spent in the Gosforth Assembly Rooms and the Playhouse singing along with F Troup. What a band they were live. Lindolph and Nigel (the two sax players) left us some years ago rest their souls. Bless them all
