THE TRAKKERS

Thanks to Keith Richardson

The Trackers
The personnel in the picture are:
l to r Alan Redgrove (bass) Selwyn Read (lead guitar),
Pete Willcocks (drums) and Dick Lawrence(rhythm guitar).
Les Gardner the singer seems to be missing.
Selwyn was not an apprentice, he was a motor mechanic from Malvern
and an absolute virtuoso on the guitar and violin.
Somewhere in the house there is a box of vinyl including the original Trackers
LP, the first recording effort by Dave Harries who went on to fame and fortune
in the recording industry.
