The first 'proper' band I saw live (at the Royal Festival Hall) - I saw them many times after that first time as well.

Enjoy, Cornelius

The Jenny Fabian and Johnny Byrne novel 'Groupie' had them featured to a large extent. In the book they were called 'Relation'.

You're a lucky man to see Family live, Mr H. I remember that TOTPs too. Old age ... I'm 51 today. :laugh:

It's one of the benefits of old age. :wink:

Roger Chapman has announced his retirement following gigs at his home town in Leicester on December 18th & 19th, he’s 67 now. Our singer used to be his sound engineer after Family split.

He doesn't look so angry nowadays

I have a Family 45 with Ric Grech singing instead of Chappo.."Second Generation Woman", brilliant single. The same song is on "Family Entertainment" but its a different, inferior version.

I've got that on the vinyl album 'Family Entertainment', also got their first album 'Music in a dolls house' and several of the later ones including the Streetwalkers first 2, one on red vinyl.

My first ever gig too, Stockton ABC, America supporting. :grin:

Couple of years later I saw Streetwalkers in Hyde Park on Kevin Ayers bill when at I was college in Reading. 1973 I think....

Strange Looking Band indeed...... clappp
