Original lineup.

A 12 and 6 double neck .. can you still get those?

I don t know which band ..but was this pic taken at the Star Bar??

... yes?

A less than appreciative audience at the Heamoor British Legion was reason enough for Steve Hackett to think along the lines that leaving Genesis maybe hadn t been such a great career move after all...

Voyage of the Accolyte and all that? - did Steve Hackett play at Heamoor - or is this a different Steve Hackett?

When you said yes , Treeve, was thata response to the previous comment, or a suggestion as to the name of the band? laugh#

Well, the emoticon is a smiley, so I wondered if it was at all connected?

OK folks, put this on for fun will put some on my album. This was taken in 1977 The original line up of Smiler, thats me singing and playing the Hofner tha Treeve and I talked about last night. Yes it is in the Star Bar. The bass player left in he first 6mths and I moved on to bass. The band lasted for 25yrs around here before we put it to bed,a lot of humping as you get older. The three left in front still play as a trio now. And yes you can still get double necks.

Me and my mate used to watch you at the star bar, You lot were brilliant... sultans of swing was my fav song.

Glad you enjoyed it.
