Rare Hippo,eh!? That'll be because it's a Rhino...
OMG! Yes!
:-(
Back to school...
teehee
;-)
that rhino poster is quite famous.i've seen it in a few telly programmes over the years.one a drama that was set in the late 1970's and also a documentary on ska from a few years back.
p.s. great find.well done that archivist!
that freeze photo from dalkeith.. peter mitchell again to the left of the picture.we wouldn't have felt comfortable playing without him there,he was such an important friend and supporter.likewise colin carson who i think is there to the right in between keiths legs ;-)
On telly they're showing re-runs of the classic series "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" and it's odd seing Gary Holton again.He was the lead singer in a
rawk band in the mid 1970's called Heavy Metal Kids,whom i did quite like in 1974.They were more pre-punky that metally - in my defence - but listening back,they are pretty awful ;-/
Anyroads,when Dave Vanian,the Damned's lead singer was struck down with a throat infection before the above gig/tour in 1979,they drafted in Gary Holton as replacement singer and jokily changed their name to the Doomed.During the soundcheck
i sidled up to Gary Holton and told him i was a fan of HMK (as well as the Damned),he turned to me and said, "So What!?" and walked away!!!
Ya gotsta larf,intchya....
I guess sudden fame got him...
Thanks for sharing those memories.
And yes,the poster is almost impossible to find...
