The Chequers Rouges Gallery
A number of people are missing namely bass guitarist Butch Bennet, Mike Westcott our 1st vocalist - Tommy Coulter our 2nd vocalist and Duncan Harvey our very 1st lead guitarist. I will try and locate photos of them.
I guess Lea, me, Mac, Alan and Duncan were, for want of a better term, the founding fathers of The Chequers...for a period in the early part of 60's The Chequers was our thing, our focus, our raison d'etre and as such will always hold a special place in our memories and hearts.
At some point in the not too far distant future I hope we can all get together, from the across the globe and play a session...it would be a laugh if nothing else.
Unfortunately since writing this Jack McGroarty has died. RIP Jack.
