| Comments: | Start The Car are looking for a roadie to help them
with their gigs around Beds and Cambs. Mick, the band's singer describes the job as being "crap money but great music and all the women you can eat (we're far too old now for that sort of thing)." He also says that applicants should be able to drive and although the band already use their drummer's van and tow a trailer, if you have a van yourself that's an added bonus which will probably see the band give you a fancy title like "Road Manager" which entitles you to get the first round in. Contact Mick on 07765 530245 or Richard on 07788 970285 |

| Comments: | Andy - bass player looking for a band? Have you thought about coming down to one of the jam nights in Bedford? - it's the perfect place to meet other musos and chat / play - and let people know you're looking.
The two jams I would recommend where rock and punk are quite popular are Wednesdays at the Paddington, Midland Road, Bedford from about 8:30pm run by Mat Roberts, and Thursdays at the Bird In Hand, Brickhill, Bedford from about 8:30pm run either by Mat Roberts or myself. Admission is free every week, and they both have a really good vibe. Look forward to seeing you- introduce yourself! |

| Comments: | Hello everyone!
I am the editor of the international Ritchie Blackmore magazine and a Bedford resident. I am currently writing a biography on Blackmore and during my research I have established that he played in Bedford in the very early 60s a couple of times. That got me thinking of all the other famous names who have also played here over the years and I intend my follow up book to be a document of all the Bedford gigs from the mid fifties. The main objectives would be to get first hand anecdotes of encounters and experiences seeing acts who came to Bedford. Also I would love to track down photos as this would make the book far more appealing. As examples, The Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, New Order and Oasis all played Bedford at least once. Do you have any memories or memorabilia from any gigs? If so I'd love to hear from you. Jerry Bloom |

| Comments: | I know who you are looking for. Cheryl comes back once a year to Bedford and Ireland. She is still living in the USA and is married to some USA air force pilot and doing very well for herself, she works for the military as a web master or something like that.
You can email her at cherylbernadette101@yahoo.com She gave me this email when she was last here. Richard and her never got together again after she got preggers and I guess they have no contact at all even with having the baby, not sure if he even knows that he is dadddy. Thats all I know she never really got into it with me I ask her about it. Feline grove what a blast from the past, they sounded awful all drunks , wonder if any of them are even alive anymore. I haven’t been to the Bear in years Paul still run it? |

Our last gigs there have not been well attended and now we don't seem to be playing The Lizard anymore (has it shut down for good?) it would be a shame if our Bedford days are numbered. Be great to see some new rock fans there this time around..... |

| Comments: | It's a great website to find out what gigs are going on locally. We hadn't got anything to do tonight so we thought we would see who's on. Steve (my better half!) plays at the Ship St. Cuthbert's Street on jam nights. It's a nice relaxing atmosphere with lots of local talent including Paul Bonas. Steve plays all sorts but does some lovely harmonies with his mate Dave singing Simon & Garfunkle but good lively stuff as well - Venus (Shocking Blue), Beatles, Stones, etc. as well as a bit of Chaz & Dave to get people's feet tapping. Come along and enjoy the company and great music. |

| Comments: | Just a quick note to say we are still alive and playing (too loudly for some....one Bedford pub shall remain nameless...no more bookings there for us!)
Its a bit of a quiet year for us, what with some of us having additions to the family and tying the knot! BUT we are back soon at ESQUIRES in July and THE CORNERHOUSE in October. Its been a while, but we're looking forward to them! Also - BEER FESTIVAL!! We are booked to play at a new 3 day Beer Fest over in Haddenham, Cambs, so not too far away! The event is still awaiting confirmation, but if it goes ahead, we're playing on a 2nd stage, doing 2 or 3 half hour sets, during the main day, Sat 21st August. See our home page for the link! See you around! The Parts Clan. |

| Comments: | Hi Nick,
I guess I'm unknown to all you musos in Bedford now as I last lived and played in the area between 1982 and 1988. I've just seen (10 mins ago) your website and discovered that Sid Worth has passed on. To say I'm gutted is a cliche but true - in all honesty it has really saddened my day. We never played live together but I remember many occasions when we sat talking and playing together in his shop (Harpur Street), HMV (upstairs music shop) and, before that was it Mr Music??? I still have a guitar I bought through Sid (acting on behalf of Kit Morgan - is he still around ?... If he is tell him I've still got the Overwater !) which now has a more special meaning. I'm really sorry I didn't know about the memorial gig for Sid as I'd liked to have made the trip up (I now live, play and teach in Hampshire) to be there. Unfortunately I'll be out of the country for Sept 28th so can't make that gig either. Anyway . . . just wanted to pay my respects to an old friend ....... thanks Sid! Rgds, Jon Walsh (formerly of "Partners in Crime"(1985-87) , "St Louis Union"(1986-87), "The Rainmakers"(1987-88)... just in case anyone remembers! |

| Comments: | Hallo!
After a "bit" of a rocky patch (which we haven't really publised), with the band "retiring", we are now back and firing on all rotors (its a Mazda thing). We have recruited a new drummer to give us a well deserved kick-up-the-arse (our ears are still ringing!), and are back in rehearsals with a slightly different set (Quo content reduced, other stuff increasing - there should be a decent balance between the two). We're looking forward to getting back out again...so you you soon. Cheers. The Parts People. |

| Comments: | Quick thanks to Rubberneck, who kindly stood in for us at the (very!) last minute for the gig at the Bluebell on the 31st May. Our drummer (who we shall not be using again!!) decided to take another gig without telling us. We only found out about this a few days before (he didn't even bother telling us!), so we were forced into cancelling. Real shame, 'cos we were looking forward to playing there again.
To anyone who was going to come along, apologies, but our hands were tied unfortunately. Cheers Rik + Co. Spare Parts |

| Comments: | Just read Andy Y's note below.....er not sure where you heard this but we most definately HAVE NOT split!!! We have in fact just recruited a fifth member, a fantastic keyboardist/vocalist/harpist/guitarist (multitalented or what?!) after a great charity gig down in London. We were soimpressed with him, that we offered him a place with the band, when he can make the gigs (he lives in SE London).
We've just completed our last gig of the year, in Welwyn (21st). Unfortunately we had to cancel our last Bedford gig, the weekend before (14th), 'cos Mark had hurt his wrist and couldn't play. We are also booking for next year. So, as and when we play beackin Bedord, hope to see you there, and prove we are ghosts!! SPARE PARTS |
