The info below for Trig no longer seems valid. If anyone can provide his current details then please get in touch. I've heard that Vera Cruz recently split then reformed and that Malc Blakemore (Aziz) is now playing bass. It's a strange (Strange Street anyone?) coincidence but I did O-level and A-Level art with Malc in 1981-1984. Get in touch Malc if you're reading this. Trig's current band (2006) was Vera Cruz - Trig is no longer a member (2017).

| Neville Crabtree | Nev
|
Many people thought this guy should be famous (me included). OK he was a bit of a cocky character, but, boy could he play guitar. I'd really like to know how he got on in the music biz. There was NEVER any doubt on my part that he would suceed. He was a brilliant guitarist at 17. Was Jimmy Hendrix his dad or what! Where are you now Nev?? I heard in 2003 that Nev may have died in the early 1990's, but is "unconfirmed". | ||||

Rumour has it that Stuart has been in prision and at one point signed himself into a psychiatric establishment.
1979 : His parents moved to Saudi Arabia and he was left at home to sell the house and forward the money. Instead he sold the furniture and had one long party. I can still see Trig, Jammy and myself outsie his house in the middle of the night dancing around the avenue in our underwear beating eachother with branches broken from neighbours trees. email: -

| Howard Wiper | Happy Howard or Hippy Howard ? |
Don't think we'll see or hear of this guy again. He was a one-off. Anyone else remember him? Is it true he was dealing on someone elses patch (Bottom Bridge) and when they (Billy Keys) caught him, he was bent over the pool table and buggered him with a pool cue? 12 stitches I heard and this is the reason he dissapeared. email: -
