The story of ‘Nite’ (2nd November 2001)

Late 1974 To the best of my recollection, my brother Peter (although I called him ‘Pott’) was in a band. He played rhythm guitar and a guy called Ian Foster was lead guitarist. I don’t know who else was in that band. The rub was between my brother and Ian anyway.

In a rare moment of us talking civilly to each other he told me that he was unhappy in the band as Ian would mess around too much and do the superstar thing. It’s fair to say at this point that Ian was a quite gifted lead guitarist. So, I said something like what do you want to do? And Pete said, ‘kick him out!’ But he also expressed concern as to what else would happen. I said that if he were unhappy why continue.

I asked did he know of others that could play so that another band could be formed? He knew Prof (Andrew MacLachlan) was a drummer and Mitch (Patrick Mitchum) could play rhythm, which pre-empted his move to lead. He also knew a guy called Stephen Bischhof (Bisch) (?) who could play. The idea was to put him on bass where he couldn’t do too much harm. So, a singer was needed and I volunteered. I’d always fancied it and my guitar playing had been ridiculed for some time. So, there it was, the line up was in place.

But where do we practice? Luckily, my brother and I lived in a house with a double garage that my father was too lazy to put his car in. The scene was set. In the following few days Pete busied himself getting people motivated and handing in his notice with Ian. A date was set, a Sunday afternoon as I recall which was soon upon us.

Our equipment was the envy of none. For that first practice, I used a cassette tape recorder microphone, which went through a Leak amplifier along with the three guitars. Prof had the best gear as he had a full set of Olympic by Premier drums. They were a sparkling gold colour, which was really passé at the time, but, hey, they were real drums dammit!! My brother used my Columbus Gibson SG copy; Mitch used Pete’s Top Twenty Fender Stratocaster copy and I think Bisch had a Fender copy too, we told him that he only need concern himself with the bottom string for bass.

The sound we made was, er, quite unique and Copnor had not heard the like before. By the end of that first practice, we had neighbours from about half a mile away complaining and knocking on the garage ‘up and over’ door.

If enthusiasm was all it took then we were already stars. It is true to say that we were very enthusiastic and happy with the results of the first practice. I can remember Pascal Egan dancing around in the garage, to our amusement. Mostly, the practices were in our garage but some were elsewhere. We had quite a few at Profs house in Bedhampton. This wasn’t just a case of turning up, setting up and playing. This involved pushing a vintage Vauxhall, which was about as heavy as the Golden Gate Bridge, out of the garage before we could start. I can remember pushing the thing over to the petrol station one day just to put air in the tyres! However, I’m straying from the point. Strange isn’t it, I can’t remember people’s names but can remember stupid things like that?

So, our repertoire grew and some practices were better than others. The songs I remember us playing were: Paper Plane (Status Quo) Johnny B Goode (with no lead guitar) Be Bop a Lu La Trouble (with an extra verse) Summertime Blues C’mon Everybody School Days c/w No Particular Place to Go (I think) (Chuck Berry) Wig Wam Bam The Cat Crept In Remember Youre a Womble (once only and I was appalled – think I walked out!) Down Down (Status Quo) Of course we had a go at a lot of songs – I even remember Heroin at one time (the song not taking it!)

We also practiced once at Bisch’s weekend residence in Cowplain. This was a surreal experience and quite near our one and only gig. A little background then, Bisch’s father owned a Swiss Patisserie in Southsea. So, when we went to practice on Sunday afternoon, we were offered all Saturdays left over cakes. Well, that was nice in itself, but Bisch’s father also supplied JPS cigarettes in packs of 50 (in those little round black plastic containers). I can remember Pascal stuffing them in the pockets of his ex-RAF overcoat as if looting!

I had invested in a mic and stand by this point. Not the best in the world but better than the cassette mic I had been using. I think Prof had bought a new cymbal, too. The practice was marked by Bisch’s unveiling of his new equipment, a proper bass guitar and a Traynor amp.

Now, our suspicions were raised when Bisch told us that bass guitars didn’t need tuning. Then the ‘Traynor’ name on the amp was in those stick on angled gold background and black text things. However, it was better than any of our equipment. This highlighted another issue.

As mentioned previously, Bisch was put on bass out of harms way. He used, up to this point, the lowest string of a normal six-string electric guitar going through the same amp as everyone else. Therefore, we couldn’t hear him. Now he had a real bass guitar and a separate amp that was really loud. It hadn’t happened before. We didn’t realise until this point that Bisch had no natural rhythm.

At this time, we were practicing furiously for the gig at the Cumberland on 8th February 1975. So, how was it exactly? Well, I was glad I had the mic stand as this freed up both my hands so I could stick a finger in each ear, as deep as possible. We couldn’t play anything, as when we tried the, er, unsyncopated rhythm threw us into chaos. Pete even took over bass duties at one point to show Bisch how it could be done. Of course Bischs response was ‘I didn’t hear any difference’.

What to do? Hey this is all sounding a bit negative. It must be remembered that we were having fun here and discovering how to push ourselves, how to work within a group, compromise, lots of good skills that (I guess) we all developed further later in life. Also, looking back on it, it was a great time. You don’t realise at the time how close members of a group become. You have to learn to trust each other, at least to keep their part of the group going, be it drums, vocals, bass or guitar.

So we sacked him. His dad was livid after just buying all that equipment. What could we do? So, in one of those ironic twists that you wouldn’t believe if you saw it on TV or read it in a novel; we invited Ian Foster to play bass. He accepted, and then asked Bisch if he could borrow his equipment! Only a teenage could be that sensitive.

Just to complete the Bisch part of the story, some time later he had a motorbike accident with a lorry in Cowplain (thanks Prof), I thought it was in Fratton by St Mary’s church but hey the result was the same, the young man died.

I think we can only have had one practice with Ian. If memory serves, that was the night before the gig and at Prof’s house. I can still remember it being a really great practice. We all left positive, motivated and scared.

The day of the gig arrived. We arrived, set up, found that there was only one electric socket on the wall and then had to plug multi adaptor into multi adaptor.

The equipment:

Prof: Olympic by Premier drums, sparkling gold.

Pete: My Columbus Gibson SG copy guitar into a borrowed (from Bill Swadling?) Sound City amp which was purple

Mitch: Pete’s Top Twenty Fender copy guitar into the Sound City

Ian: Bass guitar from I dunno where into a practice amp mic’d up into the Sound City

Me: my mic into a Hi Fi amp and into some big 12” Goodman’s as a PA.

Pete recorded the whole thing on a reel to reel Teleton (I bet he still has it the recorder not the recording). Bubbling with excitement and nerves, we started. Within 20 minutes, we had done all the songs we had. So, we did them again. Then we did them again, and again. I think we only had about 7 songs, not sure. Some people were actually dancing at one point. Then, we took a break.

During the break, the Young Socialists took over the mic and the guy did a bit of a speech which Ian punctuated with noises from his bass guitar. It was funny but I guess you had to be there. After the break, we came back and did them again. I think we did Down Down just for a change and Mitch came in too early and spoilt Pete’s solo part. Then I think Ian did vocals on yet another version of Paper Plane. Then it was over.

Post-gig blues can be quite bad and I seem to remember that we didn’t see each other for some time after and when we did, it wasn’t the same. Our ‘Let It Be’ period, if you like.

No use raking through that particular mess as it would just detract from the fun, excitement and exhilaration of four (although five really) teenagers having fun in each others company and playing music together- or almost together! (is that too schmaltzy as an ending?)
