Oh yeah, The Rattlesnakes. Greg on drums but I can't remember who else. I think I've got a picture of us standing under the Girly Prats flashing sign that Masked Kitty remembers - I've also got a feeling it was us that programmed it to say that.

the rattlenakes line up for that gig was greg herbert on drums phil crumm on guitar steve lewis on vocals and myself on bass

[Baby Ray]

Of course - what an idiot I am! I remember you now, Blink! How's things? I saw Greg about a year ago on one of my infrequent trips back to Luton. He told me what a hard time he had had but how he was working things out. He seemed to have got on top of demons at that point in time - is he still OK?

Passchendale pictures in Gallery




View Larger Images in Luton and LU7 gallery

Thanks to Phill Keefe for these pictures 'Passchendale goes to Paris'
3 candid photos of the band on their way to Paris 1983
They played with IN Excelsis at some large theatre in the 'Opera'
district. It was a perfect example of what can happen in a positive way
when Lutonians go on 'away-day'

Anymore Pictures of 'Passchendale' or the 'Party Girls' anyone??

If so lets have em please would really like to open up a Gallery
for them but at the moment there are not enough pictures of these bands.

If anyone has got any pictures that they would like to contribute
please in the first instance email me

werewolf@ukdecay.co.uk

interesting!

Justin, Alan and Liz form Bedford, sent in these 2 scan's of a Party Girls
and Straw Dogs show in Bedford. Not sure what year the gig was, it's
bound to be in the mid 80's however.

Pat Keating randomly turned up at my place last summer. He was a good guy, I learned how to make spliffs with the copious quantities of ganja he used to 'distribute' many years ago.
He is still smoking the spliff and making some very moody tunes with his rather splendid partner Karen, an excellent classical guitarist, deep in the heart of the Irish countryside.(let me know if you want these Spon)
In only true Pat style he runs dog kennels for a living, something I am sure he would be doing regardless of being paid for it or not!
We exchanged a few phone calls and emails but he seems to have slumped back into whatever it is he is slumped in now, possibly moody tunes and ganja!
It's a funny ol' world...
