Country: Australia Maidstone I remember it well: I attended St Francis for the last years of my schooling and spent one term at Vinters Park 1958 not sure if we were the first group to move up there. I remember , Harry O'Donnell & Mr McPartlin [ I think ] teachers and Danny Moriarty,Warwick Ball, Kathleen Matthews,Mick Maher,Eric Tynan, someone Sturgeon, one of the Hughes boys,Sylvia Hoey as some of the pupils. My brother Paul went there a few years later.

Who remembers the Zephys , Eric Snowball, Alan Flood, Les Beresford Maurice Reynolds I forget the rythm guitarists name and also the girl singer. The guy with the glass on his head and standing on one leg we called Elvis he used to sell papers on the corner of Weeke St & the High St , I remember the Kingfishers with Tony Bathurst [what a character ] and all the bands that played at the London Tavern and at the Otham 500, Pete Jones & I were the bouncers at both venues. Happy days and great memories.

Peter Capon Yes they were happy days and there are lots of comments around the site from various people. You may have remembered my brother Jim Capon at St Francis, sadly he passed away some years ago with the dreaded cancer.
