Subject: RE: Folklore: Blackpool/Fylde band ??? Boots 1960s
Bonded Boots - Howard Bond & Dave Walters.
Residents at Fleetwood Folk Club @ the Queens 1969-
Ian Gartside co-Resident Fleetwood FC c1970 - (after The Wayfarers Split)
Howard & Dave were joined by Boz in the early 70's then went off to seek their fame in London - Howard is still playing (in fact he did a stand-in stint with the Ian Gartside Band in 2005 and was on stage with them at Fylde Folk Festival on the Sunday Night.)
When Dave returned to Blackpool area he formed a band (Sullivan) and a Scuba Diving Business with Ian Gartside - "The Belle Ballerina" song came out of this when they split.
Dave Walters - has several Recordings to his name with several line ups (Including The Dave Walter's Band) - a search on Google will give you several reference to appearances and recordings.
