Rebel, continued to play for us at the Bridge House for some time. I like their songs.
We recorded and signed them to Bridge House Records and Music ltd for a single release. Drift Away and Rocka Shocka were the two titles. Rocka Shocka became the theme tune broadcast on Capital radio on a saturday night, on Nicky Horne's mummy's weekly show. The band used to play live with Wild Willy Barrett.
The band were into racing and they had a car racing tournament. it was for small Citroen cars
racing at Quarry Farm in Wiltshire. It was called 2CV Cross Citroen and Total Oil were the sponsors for a while. When they withdrew their sponsorship the band had a music and motors gig to raise some cash to keep them going. John Waggle, the British champion, was the main man. Tim Purcell interviewed him.
This record BHS 2 was our second single produced by Colin Barton and was arranged by Rebel.
Rebel are Les Burgess - vocals, Schmeely - bass & vocals, Pete Goodey - guitar & vocals, John Smith -drums & vocals.
