Putting Names To Faces

[Jeff]

We recently uncovered a bunch of old photos taken on the old stage of the Bridge around '76/'77.

But we are not sure who they are or what band they are from.

Can you identify them at all?

Here is a selection. Click to see it full size.

3 bass players  one vocalist,1 violiist, the only person i think can discover who these artist are is Colin Rapp,and he no longer takes part in our forum ,if as we have guess.it is the right date then Colin would have taken these for me,these picture are very big  half poster size copies ,i think we were going to make a wall of pictures to be looked at,but never got round to it,there are about 19 of these we will post accordingly if we get a good response,Terry M can anyone contact Colin Rapp?

I think the bassist in Picture 1 is a guy called Walt (can't remember his last name) but he played with Freedom before he left/was replaced. However, this would have been around 1970-ish, not mid/late 70's as suggested.

[TerryMurphy]

Hi Stevo,do you mean Walt Monahagh,he played with Freedow and yes he played a lot at jam session while i was there from 1975 Bobby Harrison etc,so might be right,give me something to aim at thanks T.M

I think picture 4 the violinist,,must have come through the new wave era.no i am not judging him by hes short haircut,althou it is a clue,I think he played in 2 bands, He could have been in Gloria Munday,Tom Robinson,or other bands like that,,New wave but not punk,I remember he always stood on the left hand side of the old Stage.

A couple more pictures for you to identify.
We think we might have some ideas for these but please confirm if you can.
