06 Aug 11 - 10:12 AM (#3202638) Subject: I'm trying to contact John Spires From: Max Johnson I'm trying to contact John Spires, who, as well as being a solo performer, sang with The Dead Sea Surfers. Please note the spelling - Spires, and if anyone can help, I'd be grateful if they would ask him to contact me via: max[AT]nonesuch.force9.co.uk Many thanks. I'll refresh this a couple of times, and then assume that the message is out there. |

I'm afraid I've not heard of him, but I'm sure someone will have. The more info you can provide, the better chance someone can offer an update! Thanks for clarifying that it isn't a misspelled Bellowhead 'Spiers', pronounced the same way but spelt differently! |

06 Aug 11 - 11:03 AM (#3202667) Subject: RE: I'm trying to contact John Spires From: Max Johnson I heard he sang in Spain for a while. I understand there have been a few rare sightings in the UK and that he's occasionally seen at the Walthamstow club. Personally I haven't seen John since 1992 or '93. |

08 Aug 11 - 04:12 AM (#3203716) Subject: RE: trying to contact John Spires (Dead Sea Surfers) From: Kevin Sheils Max, somewhere I've got a contact number or email for a chap who shared his house/flat until fairly recently. If I can't find it I know that said contact will be at Towersey (as he always is) so will see him then and pass on any info. Hope you track him down soon. |

08 Aug 11 - 07:03 AM (#3203775) Subject: RE: trying to contact John Spires (Dead Sea Surfers) From: Bonnie Shaljean Max, what about posting in the Tanner's Hatch thread? Lots of old folkies there, and at least one mention of Threadbare so somebody there might know. Link is Tanners Hatch - Finding old friends http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=14166 Hope you're keeping well! B xxx |

I'll do that soon, but don't want to seem like I'm spamming! I'll put out a shout on the (wonderfully nostalgic) "Folk Clubs London 1960s & 70s" thread in a couple of weeks. I'm keeping great here in Heysham. Hope you are too. Max x. |
