Geoff Stone, John Parry and myself playing at the Masonic Hall, Kidsgrove in 1961. This was the very first time we played in public and we only had a grand total of six instrumentals to play all night! Note the 'improvised' floor TomTom with a cymbal holder rammed into one of the tension holes! This drum was made of plastic and is the original 'Eric Delaney' drum described later in the story.
