Leamington early 70’s<\/p>\n

From drummer Jim Pryal<\/b>
” I moved to Leamington in the early 70s and met up with a bass player called Harry Frazer and a singer\/songwriter called Jamie Lord. With Mick Smitham we formed a band called Stepmother. I only remember Stepmother playing 1 gig with that line up and that was at the Regent hotel in Leamington. Quite an amazing gig. We also did a recording at Monty Bird’s studio in Snitterfield. Good to see info about Jamie on other parts of this site. . For whatever reason, the band folded. “<\/p>\n
