sixties saintee Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Went in the Red Web from 67 up to 71 when I left Perth, Knew all the Emeralds my mate Billy McKerchar was the roadie and I helped him out sometime, also went about with Brian Bellock , Bob Moncrief who sadly passed away in oz about two years ago and Denis Paton who was a apprentice with me at Christie the bakers before they all left for Oz in 70, if you go on Perth Chat and look at Chips old Perth photos there are photos and info about the Emeralds.

babychunder Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 You lived in Mercer sixties? I was in Rannoch Road at the bottom of it, during the sixties and seventies. We must know each other, check your PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Good to hear you still in touch with him. His mum, died a few years ago. She was my "Great" Auntie Mary which she really was. They lived at the flats in St John's Square though Auntie Mary moved to somewhere above Murray's the Bakers in the eighties when the square was demolished. When I was young, Brian's mum was one of those family members I felt comfortable to go tell them my parents "didnt understand me". Auntie Mary would make a cup of tea, have a chat and send me home. I hope all young kids today still have someone like that to talk to "when parents are being SO unreasonable" . I last saw Brian in the early eighties, when he had visited Perth with his new young New Zealand wife (who was soooo pretty). I spoke to him on the phone when I went to Auckland in the early nineties. I have not been in touch with him since then. I was really young at the time but Brian seemed so "cool" being in a band etc etc. All the stories about going out with Eve Graham etc. If anyone interested I will track him down. I get the impression made his new life and hasnt tried to get back in touch with his upbringing that much.

Jings Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I lived half way up Mercer (coppers canyon) BC. I remember the Ross brothers, but they were a good 7 or 8 years older than me. I was far too young to see actually see them play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
