A selection of local groups' cards from the sixties. Top left and bottom right, the Saracens, were a group from Kidsgrove who I 'guested' with a few times, players names I recall are Ivor Foulkes (lead), Reggie Wootton (rhythm) and a guy named Terry on bass. At the time I played with them the singer was Peter Oakes, who was in the same class as me at school. Incidentally Reggie Wootton's father printed most of the local groups visiting cards. Bottom left is our own group the Tresspassers from around 1963. The rest are various other groups that were around in the potteries at the time. Some connected with myself or other members of our groups.
