The Bachelors. Who?, I hear you ask
Dec Cluskey, John Stokes and the late Con Cluskey.
I was support disco at a wedding in Rodmell back around 2002. Initial thoughts were 'oh my god' but they put on a show that had the entire floor full. Great guys and really friendly. They done the wedding as a favour because they lived locally. Dec still lives in Eastbourne.
