All I know about this group is from a thread on the Nottstalgia Forum.

Can anyone remember a band at the Imperial called ‘Almost Grown’, they used to do a regular Saturday night slot in the late 60’s early 70’s, their lead guitarist was phenomenal, used to do Cream type stuff. They packed it in because of family commitments and finished off with a blazing last concert, culminating in much guitar and amp smashing at the end, was anyone there at the time.

Sorry about that, yes I did see Almost Grown at the ‘teenagers night’ Bass’ sports and social club Burton -on-Trent 1968. I was fourteen and very impressed. If I can clear away the very cloudy mists of time I remember them being a four piece, bass , drums, guitar and a singer that looked a bit like Roger Chapman from ‘Family’, and I think they played a couple of ‘Family’ tunes along with some Cream and Hendrix plus a Bluesbreakers song, which was a tour de force for the short haired guitarist who rubbed two guitars together with his feet, creating a sonic gumbo never witnessed before or since on a teenage night at Bass’ Club. I think the bass player was named Kevin, as his name was painted on the back of his fender bass. The drummer played a double bass drum kit a la Ginger Baker and it was battered Marshall amps all round. If you’re into guitars, I think he was playing a cherry red Gibson 335 and rubbing that with Vox Phantom. A couple of years later I thought I saw the singer in the crowd at the Nottingham Rock/Blues Festival, starring Taste, Atomic Rooster and non other than Family…He was wearing a bandanna, paisley type shirt and toking on a huge spliff. I hope someone else out there can confirm this. Love Peace And Understanding Twaino XXXX
