Lindisfarne announce the death of Charles "Charlie" Harcourt, a replacement member for their final couple of singles and albums which were ultimately unsuccessful: He had retired from the band two years ago from health issues. Or at least a version of the band, ha!

Better known as Bent Fabric. And as @Ulitzer95 and I know from the clipping I posted a day or so ago, helped David Thorne into the UK charts in 1962.

Well, the Gibson Brothers surprisingly have me stumped. I can find names and Martinique back in the day was the French West Indies, but I'm blowed if I can find an interview with them or even a feature. Steve Gibbons Band. You probably already know, but this is Dave Carroll's page - seems to be now resident in Nelson, British Columbia: http://www.davecarroll.com/about.html I can see Bob Wilson performing with Honeyboy Hickling right up to last year (there are vids on YouTube I haven't been able to bring myself to watch). Can't find anything on him - he was supposed to have come from a band called Tea and Symphony, but when I look them up they are a trio/quartet, with no mention of Bob. It's unsurprising - by the time Gibbons and Co were performing they were all well established musicians, so there's no interview outlining their origins and ages. I've trawled through Locomotive and The Idle Race too - nada. Plenty on Jeff Lynne - I've even found when the music press were still calling him Jeffery[sic]!

Gary's Gang. Details of most of the band here referencing an article from March 1979: https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/70s/1979/CB-1979-05-05.pdf Couple quite old for a pop band. Specifies Richmond Hills area of Queens. Bill Catlano (28) (Is Catalano a misspell, or Catlano?) Bob Froman (24) (Again is it Froman or Forman?) Al Lauricella (19) Rino Minetta (20) Jay Leon (23) Eric Matthew (25) Doesn't specify Turnier's age but you seem to have that dob. Happy to help!

Update for Olivia de Havilland. Hits for Banana (7th hit); Deathray (5th Hit); dean1991 (5th Hit); chilean way (6th Hit); Captain Chorizo (6th Hit); paddyfool (4th Hit); The Old Crem (7th Hit); Grim Up North (7th Hit). Still anyone's game with the bonuses to come at the end, but GUN comfortably ahead.

Shame you didn't enter this game....

You are correct, thanks. Been nice if even GC had noticed! The cards draw 4 Clubs - 4 Points added.

Olivia de Havilland has drunk from the Fontaine of Youth for the last time. Hits for The Quim Reaper and Miracle Aligner, who join the leaderboard for the first time, and also The Old Crem and Banana. No Bonuses. She was also a sub for a few players, and the following happened: markb4 hit 6 Diamonds - 6 Points added. Grim Up North hit 9 Clubs - 9 Points added. Death Impends hit 2 Hearts - 2 Points added. This means the leaderboard is becoming clustered just outside the podium - and July isn't even out. Leaderboard updated.

Imelda Marcos.

Not playing.

Well, Olivia de Havilland is dead...I haven't looked, but is this finished, or are we waiting on any more cast members?

Four Esquires (Revisited) Bob Colligan seems to have been also known as Bob Golden. Probably changed his name to avoid confusion with the actor? Might Golden be found in York Harbor? I've exhausted my sources on them. And that's all I can do for the 1950s/60s. Phew!

Dodie West. Review from September 1965 here which indicates she was 20 - so born 1944/45: https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-UK/Music/Archive-Record-Mirror-IDX/IDX/60s/65/Record-Mirror-1965-09-11-S-OCR-OCR-Page-0009.pdf

David Thorne. Article here from January 1963 has all the details: https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-UK/Music/Archive-Record-Mirror-IDX/IDX/60s/63/Record-Mirror-1963-01-26-S-OCR-OCR-Page-0004.pdf From Nashville, Tennessee, he was 26 then (born 1936/37), with a half sister named Mildred Lindsay. Overcame a terrible stammer.

Denny Seyton and the Sabres. Good article here giving names and ages from September 1964: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/60s/64/Record-Mirror-1964-09-26-S-OCR.pdf I think you have some of these but the line up for the single anyway: Mike Logan (17) - so born 1946/47 Edward Murphy (20) - so born 1943/44 Denny Seyton (21) - so born 1942/43 Dave Saxon (Eden Kane's former drummer) (22) - so born 1941/42 John Boyle (21) - so born 1942/43 All seemingly out of Liverpool/Coventry?

Kenny Damon (aka Kenny Roberts) (Revisited) While looking for something else entirely I came across an article on him here from September 1966: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/60s/66/Record-Mirror-1966-09-17.pdf Yes, American but married to "an English girl" (did it last?) aged 25 then, puts his dob 1940/41. Nothing really that ties his origin in. Edit: He does say he played a strip club in Cincinnati. Could this be another Eddie Preston, and he is Kenneth Damon Roberts?

The Pyramids (Revisited). Monty Neysmith born Port Antonio, Jamaica, now recording and performing as Monty Montgomery out of Atlanta, Georgia: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Monty-Montgomery-77161768814/about/?ref=page_internal The official band bio by Frank Pitter seems to indicate one of the band was Ray Knight, rather than Roy.https://symarippyramid.com/about-symarip-pyramid/ If it's of any help, Frank Pitter is in Tulse Hill, Lambeth, London and his FB page is here: https://www.facebook.com/frankpittersymarippyramid.pitter

Hungarian born Zoltan Boscik, a crowd pleaser on World of Sport back in the day, reported dead by William Regal:

The Marauders. Danny Davis was born in Plymouth, this is backed up by articles on them from the early 60s. According to this, he was born in 1942. http://www.45cat.com/biography/danny-davis-uk The other three were from Stoke-On-Trent. In 1963/64, they were living together in a town house near Cresswell Station, Cresswell, Staffordshire. The following articles give the info, which may help: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/60s/63/Record-Mirror-1963-08-17-S-OCR.pdf https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Pop-Weekly/64/Pop%20Weekly%2027%2029th%20February%201964_19.pdf

Harmony Grass. Seems to be a lot of information here from December 1968: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/60s/68/Record-Mirror-1968-12-14.pdf How much reliance you can put on it given the direct contradiction of Tony Rivers' age with that on Wiki.... Anyway it says: Tony Rivers - 24, born Shilton, Co. Durham Ray Brown - 25, born Hertford Bill Castle - 22, born Wakefield Tony Ferguson - 20 - no location but probably Dagenham, lumped in with Kenny Rowe Kenny Rowe - 25, born Dagenham Tony Marshall - 21, born Worthing

Amazingly Bo'ness' most famous player David Hagen has taken the final penalty. Hits for Joey Russ, msc, Death Impends; gcreptile; Captain Chorizo; Banana and Grim Up North. Bonuses: gcreptile hits a pair of 9s - 10 Additional Points. Captain Chorizo gets his Black Joker for 50 Additional Points. Grim Up North hits an A - 5 Additional Points. Leaderboard updated.

David Hagen takes me to 10 Hits: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/former-rangers-star-david-hagen-22413584
