I THINK The Gents were from Boro, as were Carl Green and The Scene, similarly "Mod-ish".

Moses are from Hpool.

Have the White Negroes made it yet?

As friends of em all i'd have to say yes - doing a zepp not bothering with singles (or albums for that matter) - a legend in their own lunchtime tho.

There was a Ste Swinburne mentioned earlier in this thread. I used to work with a lad by that name, in the early eighties, but I didn't think he was a musician. He was a runner like me, was supposed to get our works 'club' runners entered in the '83 GNR, but didn't post them until the day after the closing date. Had to wait another year before I did my first one.

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Sat Mar 03, 2007 12:17 am

The one I knew was a good lad, but a bit of a geek, lived on the fens. Didn't think it would be him. :laugh:

Instant Replay (Dan Hartman cover).

I knew the Hartlepool lad - Daniel James, real name Colin Heywood. His sister became more famous in the town for stabbing to death a building society clerk in Grange Road in a fight over a boyfriend in the 80s.

Jeremy Spencer was born in Hartlepool. Played guitar on all of Fleetwood Mac's early output (the good stuff).
disappeared for a while and became a buddhist or something. Back gigging now though.

Mr Dog (me and my mate Greg) are currently recording an album in our spare time. Just about finished one of the tracks this morning actually. It's called Rival Barbers. It's loosely based on the Jimmy Buckle/Killer Graham rivalry. (if there ever was such a thing)

It's an epic. Clocks in at over 7 minutes

it was joe buckle when i was a lad, anyone with a shite haircut we'd say where've you been joe buckles!

jish · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2012 1:29 pm

Same here but i'm pretty sure Joe Buckle is no longer with us.

As a kid who grew up on the Headland, I used to get my hair cut there

Joe Buckle is long gone, but the family hair clippers were passed on to his son Jimmy.

I went to Joe French myself.

Cirkus had a hit just outside the top forty seen them a few times in the rovers before then and bought the single.

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Sat Jul 07, 2012 9:24 pm

I remember listening to John Peel in the early 90s, who played a track by Fluke. I was so proud that a Hartlepool band had made it, even signed to Creation!

Unfortunately it was a different Fluke. They were actually pretty good at the time, but like a lot of electronic music doesn't age well.

There was a band called Disguise who had a single out on Chiswick called '' Hey Baby '' in 1978. There was also a group called RPM which had a Hartlepool connection in singer Geoff Grange. They had two flop singles on Ariola. Geoff went on to be in a band called Sons of Heroes , who had an album produced by Bill Wyman.The single from it used to be on the video jukebox in the Park Hotel. I think he might still be performing in the Blues Bishops.

I am sure a band from/with Hartlepool connections called the Vidoes had a version of Day-O in the early 80's

parmo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 08, 2012 8:24 pm

parmo · **Posted:** Sun Jul 08, 2012 8:33 pm

what about that classic from Lawrence

I got my first real three-string
Found it at the Rium shrine
Played it till everyone's ears bled
Was the footy season of '89

Me and some guys from Pools
In the Rink End and we tried real hard
Singing about Hartlepool Excited
and only one Brian Honaarrr!!!

I'm expecting a royalty cheque quite soon as this album has just been re-issued and is on I-tunes etc...selling well I hear as it was withdrawn at the time.
