Eddie Curtis and the Hellions

Leavin Town/Faithful Kind, Oriole 45-CB 1852 (1963)
The Hellions were Dave Allaway rhythm guitar and vocals, Dave Hart lead guitar, Brian Marshall bass, Pete St Clair drums.
This was in fact The Nightriders, and we recorded various titles written by Dave Allaway and Tony Porter, and Tony plugged them round the record companies under different names.
The Hellions record was I think the only one released, and consisted of "I'm Leaving Town" on the A side, and "The Faithful Kind" on the B.
We had a session piano player on the B side who's name I forget, possibly Norman something.
Both songs written by Tony Porter and Dave Allaway recorded at Kingsway Studios in London, date not known
- Leavin town -
- Faithful kind -
