Home and Pancho Selecta-Disc Arkwright Street Photo 1971

ARTICLES. Some articles written on the Nottingham music scene, music in general and other rock and roll trivia.

This photograph has done the rounds a few times on various facebook groups with many posts eluding to this and that, but not ever saying who is who. So, I decided to put names to faces. The photo is of two rock groups and a few others standing outside of Selecta-Disc on Arkwright Street, Nottingham in 1971. The two groups were “Pancho” from Nottingham and “Home” who recorded three albums for CBS in the early seventies before Laurie Wisefield and Cliff Williams went onto greater fame with Wishbone Ash and AC/DC respectively.

The photo was taken by George Toone, father of Andy Toone of 70’s Nottingham rock group Odysseus to promote a forthcoming gig at the Imperial on St James’s Street. It was almost certainly on Saturday 21st September 1971, the day of the gig.

Pancho were a Nottingham rock group formerly known as Medicine Hat.

So, I’ve looked into it and I’ve nearly got each person on the photo named.

Here is the photograph with each person numbered and their names listed.
