Subject: RE: Mick Groves on UK tv From: GUEST,Dave Hatton Date: 04 Nov 00 - 06:38 PM The site mentioned for the Spinners is mine! http://uk.geocities.com/davenhel_uk/spinners.html Mick Groves is indeed involved at a high level in the education setup on the Wirral; as such he is very busy, but gave me advanced warning of the TV appearance. He also promised to give me more details of the whole group's current activities, so check back to the page and I'll put anything I find out or am told up there straight away! Also, if anyone has any further contributions to the chords / tunes section I would be grateful. |

Subject: RE: Mick Groves on UK tv From: Dave the Gnome Date: 02 Nov 00 - 10:44 AM Mick was did a tribute to Ewan McColl show around this time last year. They both hail from Salford so it seemed a good thing for him to do. Dunno what he's up to now though. |
Subject: Mick Groves on UK tv From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 02 Nov 00 - 04:15 AM I understand Mick Groves, formerly of the Spinners, (Liverpool not Detroit)is on a UK commercial tv programme next Monday evening,Nov. 6th (times may vary according to region) called After they were Famous. A sort of "Where are they now?" programme. I have an idea where the rest of the Spinners are. Cliff retired to Jamaica when they disbanded (he was the oldest by several years),Tony works for the Northern end of Jazz FM (he always was a jazzer) and Hughie has a CD out with musicians including their old MD & Bassist "Count" John McCormick. I don't know what Mick is doing so I 'll try to catch the programme. The only other episode I saw had Dave Hill(ex-Slade) as a School Governor (still wearing a big fedora in governors' meetings!) and teaching music to special needs kids. Otherwise it semed to feature people I never knew had been famous! RtS BTW I only found one Spinners website with not a lot of info. other than what I've mentioned above, but promises more, at:http://uk.geocities.com/davenhel_uk/spinners.html Click Here |
