    Hospitalised!

    Sam Lloyd getting traction: Edit: Definitely dead.

    Hospitalised!

    Twitter suggesting that Sam Lloyd has died, apparently based on a FB post by Philip McNiven.

    At some point our Tom Marshall was married to a Sheila Dimmock. Light reading indicates they are no longer together, so, she's dead or they are divorced? Maybe there is a marriage certificate to be tracked down. Interesting stories about Ferguson going on to win New Faces with Rowe but the public trail for the remaining members fizzles out in the mid-1970s.

    Harmony Grass. After a fair amount of digging, found Tom Marshall's Facebook, indicating he's in Bromley: https://www.facebook.com/avensis123 Otherwise a nightmare to track down. Gotta have my dinner!

    The Happenings. Some comments here: https://geezermusicclub.com/2011/04/12/the-happenings-are-happening-again/ Seems to indicate pre-fame DiVito was in Paterson, New Jersey and probably was working the casinos at some time in Las Vegas?

    Harpers Bizarre. This June 1967 clipping from the Santa Cruz Sentinel indicates that Eddie James is the youngest of the group, being 18. https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3688051/santa-cruz-sentinel/ That puts his dob somewhere in late 1948/early 1949. Might help? I'm tiring of listening to Dick Scoppetone relate his story, as he's not really detailing anything about his band members so far.

    Nope. Later in the article it actually contradicts itself by saying Rathbone was from Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire. Any joy there?

    This page indicates Donald Rathbone was born October 1942, Wilmslow, Cheshire. https://www.manchesterbeat.com/index.php/groups1/hollies Does that help (especially as you know what his dad did)?

    Hilarious, given I've just found that Don Rathbone's father was an undertaker! How apt he's avoiding the death scene here! Now I'm off to research Manchester's golden history of undertaking!

    Actually, have I misdirected myself here? Is it he died on Wednesday, just before the turn into the 30th, or midnight on Wednesday which I take to be the turn into Wednesday? Fuck it, I'll make it the 29th.
  23. YoungWillz

    Activists

    Right, the BBC are reporting that he died just before midnight on Wednesday, so in my opinion that is going to make him a Tuesday 28 April death. Unless of course that is midnight local time in South Africa. Important for the Hare's Pool here, anyone want to join the acclaim for an extra day? Everywhere else has him as 29th April death. Let me hear the roar of the crowd.
