Vince Deacon & The Rebels
Vince Deacon and the Rebels was formed after The Trakkers broke up. Charlie 'Lance' McKie was the lead singer with the Trakkers and, for a short time, the band decided to disband until a new singer was found. The man who eventually replaced Charlie was Ronnie Penna, from Horden, and the Trakkers then became Vince Deacon and the Rebels. The photographs on this page, which were taken during the early 1960's, are from the collection of drummer, Barry Cox. Both Barry and Ron Blair believes they were all taken at Wheatley Hill Dance in County Durham. Yes, but the next question is "Who took them?"

Vince Deacon & The Rebels
Vince Deacon and the Rebels was formed after the Trakkers broke up. The photograph above shows, at the back, Stan Laundon on rhythm guitar, Ron Blair on bass and Billy Crallan on lead guitar. At the front is drummer Barry Cox and lead vocalist, Ronnie Penna.
Vince Deacon and the Rebels on stage - with Stan, Ron, Barry and Billy. Ron Blair and Barry Cox have good memories and recall this was at Wheatley Hill Dance.
Stan Laundon, Vince Deacon (Ronnie Penna) Ron Blair and Billy Crallan.
I think the song we were singing at the time might have been "We Say Yeah" which was the old Cliff Richard hit.
Stan didn't sing that many songs during the evening so it could have been "A Picture Of You."
A Shadows instrumental from Billy.
Fooling around - something we did a lot back in those days.
Thanks to Barry Cox for the photograph collection on this page.
