THE ATLANTICS
Don Dyas says:-
We
were the Atlantics then - we later aquired Bill Elwood, then Jack Billy &
I teamed up with Dave Wilkins
& Ian Hall to become the Fontanas. Contrary to what the website says I
didn't leave the band to get married, managed to do both quite well, only
had to leave when my day job took to me to distant parts (Sheffield!).
There I worked with a guy called Neil Hubbard who played with a singer called
Joe Cocker,
could have joined up but figured nobody with such a daft name would ever get
anywhere.....
They are
(l to r) me, Jack, Barrie Sowerby, Jimmy Alexander on drums
on stage at Crown & Anchor, Wakefield
Barrie, me, Jack, Frank Shepherd (who was a wannabee vocalist - the girls
liked him but not in Jack's league as a singer) offstage at the same venue
