I've sent Lee a message to contact Terry, so hopefully he will get that soon.
Will do my best to get to the reunion from oop north; hope there will be people there that I know. We were all young and thin last time I was at a Bridge House gig!

hope you are well Julie,great Lee Dury back,what about some of these stories he remembers,glad i never new at the time ,i would have barred Darren from seeing him.it would not have made any difference,once a mate always a mate,even to this day Regards T.M

[Julie]

I'll scan the Tenpole Tudor and Modern Romance pictures, and the Spectres ones as well, and post them on the website I put the others on, with a link.
It's funny realising that you had no idea what was really going on at the time, but I think we all turned out all right in the end, didn't we? And we had some of the best times in the old punk days.   

[TerryMurphy]

 hI Julie i never recieved Tenpole Tudor and Modern Romance pictures, or the Spectres .that you said you had posted,i would like to see them.if you woUld post again, hope you are keeping well,regards Terry M

You lot probably know that Mr Lammin will be at the bridge house 2 with his band the bermondsey joy riders on 29 november. Also in the band will be keith boyce from the heavy metal kids.  they're playing on a bill with Johnny Moped, so between the lot of em you get a mob who were there back in the bad old good old days.  anyone who can't wait till then can check the joyriders out on 22nd November in the dirty south in lee, south london.

i hope to be at both gigs all being well!

Bermondsey is bandit country. Never mind the Police, the Bermondsey Joy Riders would never have got a gig at the Bridge with a name like that!
Loads of us went to Harry Cripps testimonial.
Gary and Cocksparrer used to be in the company of the D.A.F, T.B.F, I.C.F etc.
Now I wonder if F Troop will be coming along? Hopefully they wont bring their caravans as Bidder St, E.16 is such a picturesque place!
Joking aside, Mr Lammins guitar playing is right up my street although he really needs a good singer to finish it all off!
Lee.
