ROCKIN BERRIES Gallery 1970/6 1986/96

I had 2 periods with The Berries 1970/76 and 1986/96. First pic Batley Variety Club before my first performance with them 1970. I would have loved to be on their hits in ’65 but I was doing my own records with EMI as Tony Brook and the Breakers. Didn’t make the charts but popular with the Mods. ( my own song ‘Meanie Genie’)

BOBBY CHUCK TEZ TERRY PETE The band later reduced to 4 as Terry could double as Comedian, Singer and Musician

Having done my local Batley Variety club with the popular 4 Statesmen, I was straight in the deep end as my first week with the Berries was there.
