THE COMETS

 

This photograph, dating from about 1962/63, came to us courtesy of Marian Savage. Marian (nee Webb) used to sing with various bands in the early 60's - the most famous being the Hartlepool band, The Comets. They are (left to right) Peter Savage on guitar, Marian Webb on vocals, John Madge on drums, Colin Temple on bass and John Pontone (in the front) on guitar and vocals.

This is Marian on stage at the Borough Hall, Hartlepool during a Rink Reunion that took place on April 23rd, 2005. The Plainsmen provided the backing.

This page is dedicated to John Madge (1945-2008) and John Pontone (1945-2005) - always remembered and sadly missed.
