How wonderful to see the 'Sunset Syncopators' again! Great memories of a great season on Scilly-the summer of 1970. If I remember rightly, they were (Front Row) Dave Earl, David Hunt (both sadly enjoying syncopation in another uninverse now) (Back Row) Tim Rutter, Julian??, Jon 'Washboard' Hays and Chris Garrett. On other days of the week they masqueraded as the something Packed India Tea Jug Band-don't remember the name they used when they metamorphosed into a rock band-somtimes including Paul Deacon, I think. Oh, happy days!! Jua
For the full lowdown on this bunch, I suggest all queries to Chris Garrett, however I can fill in the gaps in Jua's comments. Julian Wilkinson played guitar, and this same line-up performed as one of the residents of the folk club {above the Bishop} as 'The Factory Bulked Machine Packed India Tea..(as stamped on the side of the tea chest).. Jug Band'.... Deacon Moses Blues Band was the rock band....Oh What Fun We Had!!! All that, and numerous sessions in the Mermaid...What a year!! -Wash
