Hello Paul ,how on earth could you think I would forget you! Some of my most treasured memories are of "The Bungalow" and all the parties etc you had there.(lots of egg boxes for soundproofing). I have'nt really seen Kim and Alison for quite some time now,I was supposed to go to a reunion that Rik was organising a couple of years back but it was my birthday and I had made other plans.Did you go to that?. Who is playing in The Spurts? Ralf ? little Dave ? My memory badly needs jogging, so help me out please !

Hi Sue, nice to hear from you. Firstly, yes i went to the reunion, it was actually back in 2002 it was held in a bar underneath where the old van gogh was. Secondly, (little) Dave is playing in the Spurts, along with, Steve (stevie B ), myself, and Andi Shurer. Ralph, and Perry couldnt make it. Hope to see you there.

Hi Sue, stevie b, now resides in sunny spain (gerona),he's been living there for about three years, ralph owns a hair studio in southend. I still speak to ralph, he is keen to do something musical again, its just finding the time. Mark Bristow has lived in Australia (Brisbane) for the last ten years, and Dave Coltman moved up to the cotswolds about eight years ago, Perry lives somewhere down in Dorset.

Hi Steve, what are you up to in Spain ? Are you coming all that way just for the Spurts gig or do you still have family in Essex. It makes me feel a bit like I should make more of an effort to go to some of these reunions as I am sadly still in Basildon !

Hi Sue, my family are in sussex mainly, this will be a trip just for the reunion. Its dirt cheap from Girona airport. I,ve missed out on a lot of old friends, good to catch up. Spain, well I.m working as a stonemason. Bought an old town house. Speak Catalan(not Spanish) Bloody good life, but miss the british pub live scene. I went to the Van Gough reunion, god we,ve all changed!!!! Easter sunday will be laugh. maybe see there?

Hi Steve, Im feeling more and more guilty by the minute for not going to these things, but I'm sure that no one would remember me anyway!. Your life in Spain sounds absolutely idylic and I am severly jealous by the way...

Hi Sue, just a thought, do you know the whereabouts of Richard (aka Tyrone Cliffhanger), of Strange Stories fame? As you may remember, Richard was the manager of The Spurts, and i would like to contact him, as he might have a copy of the demo we recorded back in 78. By the way, we all hope you can make it to the gig (8th april),who knows we might be able to persuade you to join us on stage? ?

Hi Paul and Steve.... well Ive never heard him called that before,.but do you mean Richard who started strange Stories ( who also used to be The Vandals manager) ? I dont know how to contact him but I occasionally pass him in the street! I cant beleive he can be unaware of this site, I assumed that most of the old pics etc of us all came from him. Maybe someone out there who knows him might tell him?? Anyway as for the gig in April, I am still struggling with my demons about that (i'm not good in social situations) but I will try and make it . But as for me joining you on stage? not a chance in hell matey boy!! I had look at The Spurts myspace , its great, they were great times, how did we all get so old so quickly? its seems like only yesterday!!

Hi Sue,
I remember you too of course. Just after Alf joined my band I went out with Kim for a while and you went out with Mark Salkeld. I'm thinking of going to the Spurts gig to meet up with a few old faces. Why not come along?
