---- G ---- Generation 1970 to 1971: Steve Farrow (LG), Phil Briggs (D), Roger Tice (B), Dave Mussell (K), Generation 2 in 1971 Dave Mussell - keyboards/vocals; Phil Briggs – drums/percussion; Steve Farrow – guitar/vocals; Roger Tice – bass/vocals Generation name changed and became 'Thumper' Gentle Giant more about Simon Dupree - Gentle Giant more about the Shulman family Gilbey Twiss The tale of Gilbey Twyss. Mick Legg and Dave Allen from Rosemary had joined Whiskey River's blues players Bernie Fox and Denny Barnes plus saxophonist Mick Tuck from Wanted. We were managed by Mick Dillon and Alan Roblin and after flirting with the name the Teen Queens became Gilbey Twiss (why? no idea). Their first gig was a Press Charity event at the Locarno in Arundel Street on Tuesday 6 October 1970 with other Pompey bands Aubrey Small and Egypt plus Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich. After their spot we packed up and drove to the Pier, for a student gig following Jellybread, Bram Stoker and the Edgar Broughton Band as last act of the night. For the two gigs combined they earned £15! They used to rehearse upstairs at the notorious Appletree pub on the Hard and played a couple of gigs there in exchange. Other gigs came at the Teachers' College (Milton), the Oasis, the Pomme D'Or and after the Tricorn gigs, played Oaklands Convent with (In Grandma's) Absence on Friday 12 February. Shortly after, Denny Barnes left to join Sam Apple Pie, a London recording blues band and after 11 gigs in four months GT was no more. Last heard of, Denny is now in New Zealand, Mick Legg is on IOW and Bernie still gigs locally with all kinds of people including Steve Roux. Mick Tuck died some years ago. Dave Allen trained as a teacher and later became a university lecturer and spent more time around the folk scene and joined Steel Mill no drums and bass but lots of violinists, accordionists, banjos, dobros, washboards etc. Briefly they also had a 'girl' singer - Sue Humphries. They earned an average of £11 per gig which was crazy.
