BACK IN THE 70’S IN SOUTH WALES. THERE WAS A GANG OF SCRUFFY, WILD REBEL KIDS WHO WERE RAISED ON ROCKABILLY.
YOU COULD FIND US CLIMBING IN THE WINDOWS AT ALL THE LOCAL "CRAZY CAVAN" GIGS, ONLY TO BE THROWN OUT BY THE LANDLORD, BUT WE’D CLIMB RIGHT BACK IN!!!!!
AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 14, PAT GROGAN TEAMED UP WITH MYSELF, ROB"DOB"DAVIES, AND WE WOULD TRY TO PLAY ALL OUR FAVORITE ROCKABILLY SONGS ON A BUSTED GUITAR. WE WERE SOON JOINED BY MY COUSIN, COLIN"EDDIE"EDWARDS, 13! WHO HAD A CHEAP BASS GUITAR. LATER WE MET "ANDY RYAN" WHO OWNED A REAL DRUMKIT!!! AND "BREATHLESS WAS BORN!
ANDY WAS REPLACED AFTER A WHILE BY PAT’S BROTHER COLIN, AND ABOUT THIS TIME WE PICKED UP RHYTHM GUITARIST IAN"BONE"HAINES, ..............HE KNEW THE CHORD NAMES!!!
AT FIRST WE PLAYED FOR THE LOCAL KIDS, BUT THEN MET 50’S PROMOTOR PAUL"LEGS"BARRETT. HE GOT US ON THE BILL SUPPORTING "WHIRLWIND", ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE BANDS!..HE ALSO RELEASED OUR FIRST E.P. CALLED "SOCK HOP BOPPIN’" ON THE "MAGNUM FORCE LABEL.
OUR FIRST TOUR WAS IN GERMANY IN 1977, WITH "CAVAN" & "GINA & THE ROCKING REBELS", WE HAD A WILD TIME PLAYING ALL OVER GERMANY, AND FINISHED UP DOING THE LAST EVER NIGHT IN THE FAMED "STAR CLUB" IN HAMBURG! (THE POLICE CLOSED IT DOWN!)
ABOUT THIS TIME, EDDIE GOT HOLD OF A SLAP BASS WHICH HE PLAYED NIGHT N’ DAY TILL HE MASTERED THE THE THING.
WE THEN RECORDED AT A LOCAL STUDIO BUT WE NEVER RELEASED THE TAPES. THOSE THAT HAVE HEARD IT SAY IT’S THE BEST THING WE EVER DID, AND WE MIGHT STIL PUT IT OUT .....ONE DAY.
AFTER A FEW YEARS WE SCORED A DEAL WITH "BIG BEAT RECORDS" IN PARIS, FRANCE....THATS WHEN THINGS REALLY KICKED OFF FOR US!!!
WE RELEASED TWO ALBUMS, "BAD BAD BOYS" & "THE TWILIGHT ZONE" WE TOURED NON STOP FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS, AND DID EVERY MAJOR VENUE, STADIUM, TV & RADIO SHOW IN EUROPE. "THE STRAY CATS" INVITED US ON THEIR "BLAST OFF TOUR"..... THEY WERE GREAT GUYS, WE HAD A WILD TIME & ROCKED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM!!
AFTER THIS, WE TEAMED UP WITH "CAVAN" & "FREDDIE "FINGERS" LEE FOR A 2 YEAR TOUR OF SPAIN CALLED "THE ROCKING 80’S TOUR". AN ALBUM WAS RELEASED ON SPANISH "WELCOME RECORDS" CALLED "THE SADDLETRAMPS".
TIME ROLLED ON AND THEN WE KINDA FELL APPART IN THE EARLY 90’S, SO WE CALLED IT A DAY AND QUIT ON A HIGH NOTE.
SADLY EDDIE DIED A FEW YEARS AGO AND , AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IS WELL MISSED BY US ALL & CANNOT BE REPLACED.
THE REST OF US DECIDED TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. BUT SOON REALISED THAT THINGS WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS. SO WE FINALLY PUT IT TO REST AGAIN, AFTER SOME GREAT GIGS IN EUROPE.
THANKS TO ALL OUR FANS FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS.
WE HAD A BALL!!!!!!
KEEP ON ROCKIN’

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks

Catch
That Rockabilly Fever by Sheree Homer is a candid account of life on the
road and in the studio with '50s legends and today's talent. These are personal
stories told by the artists themselves. It's a soft cover biography that will
be published in October 2009 by McFarland Publishers and retail for $39.95. It
will have never before seen photos (strictly 1950's photos of the legends) and
rare stories from the artists themselves. Catch
That Rockabilly Fever will be approximately 350 pages in length. It will be
unlike any other rockabilly book on the market since it will include some of
today's hottest young talent plus insightful stories from 1950's backing
musicians and engineers for the first time, such as James Kirkland (Bob Luman,
Ricky Nelson), Richie Frost (Ricky Nelson), Steve Handford (Bobby Lee
Trammell), Tony Austin (Rock and Roll Trio), Stanley Walker (Ray Smith), Bobby
Poe (Wanda Jackson), Vernon Sandusky (Big Al Downing) and Bob Sullivan
(KWKH/Louisiana Hayride). Foreword by acclaimed writer Ken Burke.
These forty-six artists will have individual profiles and one
glamorous photo per musician: Glen Glenn, Lew Williams, Art Adams, Elvis
Presley, Ricky Nelson, Bob Luman, Ed Bruce, Dickey Lee, Jack Earls, Hayden
Thompson, Maddox Brothers and Rose, Sonny Burgess, Carl Mann, Ray Smith, Johnny
Powers, Larry Donn, Pat Cupp, Ronnie Hawkins, Bobby Lee Trammell, Huelyn
Duvall, Gene Summers, Sonny West, Buddy Holly, The Collins Kids, Wanda Jackson,
Charlie Gracie, Big Al Downing, Laura Lee Perkins, The Rock and Roll Trio,
Narvel Felts, The Dave and Deke Combo, Kim Lenz, Go Cat Go, High Noon, Larry
Cole, Cari Lee Merritt, Josie Kreuzer, Eddie Clendening, Suzy and Buddy Dughi,
The Casey Sisters, Carl Sonny Leyland, Dawn Shipley, Sue Moreno, Ruby Ann, and Tex
