The drummer looks familiar, is it Roy.

Great pic, Eric. Do you remember the short lived trio that you played in with our Ronnie and David Cameron? The Moonrakers you called yourselves. Sadly, our Ronnie passed away in November, 2015, after a very short illness. Hope you're keeping well. Take care, John.

Yes the drummer is Roy Davies who sadly passed away in 2012.

Hi John, sorry to hear about your Ronnie,Yes I remember the few sessions with Ronnie and Dave but wouldn't have remembered the band name thanks for that time takes its toll with the grey matter lol. Hope your all doing well. Cheers E.

Thanks Eric, i thought it was but did not put his Surname as i knew he had passed away. I remember Roy from Highfield Boys Brigade he played the drums there.

Eric, was he later known as Roy 'Thunderfoot' Davies ?

Hi Roy,Yes he was known as "Thunderfoot" later on.

Thanks Eric, great drummer, seen him a number of times at the Unity Cub in Standish, Lankykats nights, playing alongside Keith 'Lefty' Wright ex Sportsmen, Michael 'Mitch' Mitchinson and others. I think Roy and Mitch were in Pokie together, if my memory serves me right.
