Flintlock were a great young pop band!

[vivicola]

I like this band so I don't know what to say about the last comment. I mean, at least they're playing instruments. The boy bands today just prance around like pansies, and try to sound like every other generic band on VH1 and MTV with a record deal.

[vivicola]

Great young band. Nothing like that today.

Flintlock were a great pop group. Most pop groups have a short life span because they

don't get paid enough by the thieving labels

to keep going.

I remember them on TV as a kid as wanted a drum kit just like Flintlock's drummer. My Dad bought a single snare drum from Wing Music in Bromley and by the time I was 17 it as big his kit!

Altohough not oringnally if I remeber correct , but it is common knowledge that Mike the drummer was in the TV series Tomorrow People . However unless I am mistaken , is what derived from that verity show called "You Must Be Joking" ? I know Mike was in it . Used to chuck custard pies at each other at the end of it . Pouline Querk [sorry don't know how you spell it] used to be in that show with them .

I was in the Fan Club and was in love with Derek Pascoe!!! (i was young then!) I saw them at my first ever concert! Id love to see them now, and see how they have changed. Brilliant songs, and very good. Still love Silbury Hill. Oh what memories XX

flintlock were not manufactured they were a group of friends who got to gether because they studied at the same music college

The sax player, Derek Pascoe, now lectures for the Jazz course at the Elder Conservatory at Adelaide, South Australia. He is a pretty amazing sax player now, if he hadn't told us about this I would have assumed that was always the case.
