By the end of the 1970s more pubs were having live music and the
opportunity to get gigs greatly improved. In October 1979 I did a
one off gig with Alan Shipgood, Mick and Malcolm Marsh and Tony
Wright. Malcolm and Tony were already working as a duo in the East
Hampshire area and were interested in developing a rock/pub band
to run in parallel. |

In March 1980 we started up again under the name Home Brew (quite
amusing to see on the events boards in public houses!). We gigged
from March to November, Mick Marsh and Nigel Watts-Plumkin played
drums, Alan Shipgood on bass, I played second lead and rhythm
guitar behind Malcolm's excellent lead guitar and backing vocal. |

Tony fronted the band as lead vocalist. The material we played
were all cover versions, ranging from Dire Straits to Joe Cocker.
The Hell's Angels regulars at the Coach & Horses in Farnham,
Surrey seemed to like it !!! |
