I remember a Mr Murray…was he at Tideway? I don’t think he was so I’m not sure why I know the name.

I‘m really gutted about this. We were friends on the Brighton music scene and Hanover pubs about 25 years ago - my circle of friends at the time.
Used to bring his dear Mum into the London Unity in Islingword Road and sit at the bar when I was working.
Loyal Albion fan.
This one’s for the road, you boring old s*d and thanks for the help in raising funds to get us a new Stadium
I lived in Hanover Terrace as a kid and used to see him through the window of the London Unity pub. The Saturday after he was on TOTPs he was walking up Islingwood Rd carrying his mums shopping.
Years later, about 20 years ago, he played a few times in the cricketers on Southwick Green. Great night's.
RIP Bob

Remember it and Bob well. Far fewer in the Brighton Muso's mafia back in those days.
RIP Bob
Same. They were great, couldn't believe my luck them playing Eastbourne. RIP.

Very sad, I didn’t live through his heyday but I was aware of what a local legend he was, and actually got to see him perform in a pub for a little reunion some years back. RIP.
This was The Buccaneer in Brighton, it’s near the Old Steine and it had several names since and now called Patterns
Also of course Richard Adland, aka Dick Slexia, the Piranhas drummer. As an aside I wonder where Reginald Frederick Hornsby and Zoot Alors are now?Ditto - So many from that era now gone. Ian Smith, ( Birds with Ears) a very dear friend of mine - gone far too soon.

Of course John Helmer went on to form Pookiesnackenburger with Nick and Paul Dwyer (from Nicky and the Dots) , Sue Bradley from the Reward System and Luke Cresswell who went on to form Stomp. All good and very close friends from an amazing era.
