\nTHE SONS OF SIN<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\ncirca 1966 <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Beat group – Leamington based band founded by Tony Owen.<\/p>\n

SOS was the culmination of 4 years development from The Sovereigns<\/i> going through Beatles, Hollies<\/i> and Kinks<\/i> era into Soul Music.<\/p>\n

The band line up was John Roddis<\/b> Lead Guitar (Pale Blue Vox Phantom), Andy Dancer <\/b>Guitar (Fender Blond Telecaster). Keith Darlison Bass Guitar ( Red Hohner Semi Accoustic) Pete O’Keefe<\/b> Keyboard, Paul Thomas<\/b> Vocals and Tony Owen<\/b> on Premier Olympic Drums.<\/p>\n

We played regular gigs at all of the Leamington Clubs, Village Halls and ultimately at the County Arms Blaby, Plymouth Arms Soul Club – Stratford Upon Avon, Racehorse Warwick and the Irish 33 Club in Coventry.<\/p>\n

After the band split (1969) John, Paul and Pete formed Peppermint Circus who went into the charts with Bee Gees and Equals penned songs. <\/p>\n

After several years in various bands John Roddis, known locally as “Johnny Thunder” fronted as a major force in the ever popular Woody Allen’s Challengers. <\/p>\n

Sadly John died in 2003, aged 54, his funeral service taking place at St Paul’s in Leamington was a full house marked by music from the Beatles and his coffin was carried to Chuck Berry’s Johnny B Good.<\/p>\n

SOS were a great band contributing considerably to the Coventry Music Scene.<\/span><\/p>\n
