Growing Up In Dudley —John Harper

John Harper

“A slightly faded picture of me in 1960/61. The Black Country had many groups in those days many artists going on to become music legends. I wasn't one of those but enjoyed the time playing in a group at venues like Plaza, Old Hill and Handsworth, Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton, and pubs and clubs around Dudley.

The group was called ‘Robin Adaire and The Teenbeats’ and this picture shows from left to right, Gary Townsend, Robin Probert, Rod Chivers, me and Alan Blunt (sadly passed away a few years ago).

Happy days growing up in Dudley.”
