Nottinghamshire group circa 1962

Thanks to Richard Kedzior for the three images.

There is not much I can say about this group. A couple of times they are said to be from Nottingham but I have seen no other evidence. There is a “Watnall, Notts” address on the back of the card with a “D.H.Green” mentioned, maybe a band member or manager. They were with the Denman Variety Agency and a couple of gigs were in Mansfield so maybe they are from there. They supported Nottingham group “The Jaybirds” and also Johnny Gold who was based in the North Notts area. No idea about the line up and I can only find reference to them from 1962 so it is possible they changed their name or were just short lived. Could they have evolved into Ray Dane and the Diamonds / Big Ugly Dane and the Diamonds. It is possible I suppose, similar geography, Ray Dane coming from Eastwood.
