Hi I have often seen Tofts club mentioned on your site, we played there regularly between 1968 and 1971 as TARQUIN supporting many great bands.

I remember one weekend playing with EDGAR BROUGHTON on the saturday night and FORMERLY FAT HARRY with BRUCE BARTHOL of COUNTRY JOE AND THE FISH on the sunday.

I have sent a picture of the band in 1969 we were very proud of our hair as was every self respecting rock musician at the time!

The line was:

  • MALCOLM BARNARD/VOCALS/SAX
  • PETE HANCOCK/GUITAR
  • CHRIS GODDEN/ORGAN/GUITAR
  • DAVE KIRBY/BASS
  • EDDIE ANDREWS/DRUMS

Another band we played with regularly at Tofts was THE DREAM POLICE with a certain Hamish who went on to form THE AVERAGE WHITE BAND and later play with SIR PAUL.
