THE DELMONTS

 

This photograph shows the original Delmonts with Mac Booth on rhythm guitar, Colin Draper on Fenton Weil Bass, Leo McCreaton on drums, vocalist Tony Sidgwick with Ron Taylor on lead guitar. The photograph was taken at Middlesbrough Empire Theatre in 1961 and was used in Hamiltons shop window, in Middlesbrough, showing gig dates.

This photograph of The Delmonts shows Nev Henderson the lead guitarist, John McCormick - lead vocalist sitting on the floor - Colin Draper on bass guitar, Harry Simpson on drums and John Prest on rhythm. This photo, as most of the others below, was taken at the Swan Hotel, in Redcar, with four groups playing on that night on a 2 up 2 down basis.

Colin, Nev, John McCormick, Harry and John Prest.

Spending some time at the bar but not drinking, of course, because they had a show to do. This shows John McCormick, Harry, John Prest, Colin and Nev.

In a serious mood - John Prest, Colin, John Mc, Harry and Nev.

Messing about - professional posers says Colin!

The Guitar Tree.

Don't we look nice!

This is in the Pier Ballroom in Redcar, March 1963, with new singer John McCormack, from The Plainsmen.

Thanks to Colin Draper for his contribution to this page and sharing his collection of photographs.
