I am putting together as many crocketts photos and videos as I can on this site, but i dont have many, so if anyone has anything, could they please email to daveymacmanus@mac.com
also I am attempting to write a history of the band, as my memory of those times is slightly befuddled, if anyone has any memories, eg gigs, meeting us somewhere, seeing us play in america or europe, could they please write a bit about and send it to the email address above
all the best

Did you see that Les Paul documentary? Isn't he fab. Made me think of Dan! Vote here for a one-off Crocketts reunion!! (That live "Bluster Boy" on here is orgasmic. Oh the memories........)

Hello guy's.. Can you remember playing newcastle in 2001 (or thereabout's)? Two of you, Davey and Owen i think!? and Brooke from the Llama Farmers came to our house in Langley moor. We had an enourmuos bag of pill's, which we swiftly dissipated and then ran amok through the local park in the darkness! It was much fun :-) x

I can't believe how I managed to completely forget about you guys for about 6 years!! Found this site and listened to the CD's, its incredible that I still remember most of the words. And it all still fucking rocks!! Gone but certainly not forgotten, well not forever anyway.
