I used to dance to the music of the Blue Caps at the Knights dance hall in church road. We were packed in like sardines. It was the only dance for teens under 18 in Stockton.
Sadly we lost Mick along with Howard Rayner (The original lead guitarist) and Peter (Pedro) Thompson. A fabulous bass player. There is one heck of a band from Stockton playing beyond those Pearly Gates.
Used to see the Bluecaps at the Yorkshire Dragoon. Great nights, a good band.

We called it the “Elbow Room” it had a fabulous atmosphere.

I notice one of the main men, my old mate Mick Kemp is not in the line up. Obviously he must have passed on by the time this was taken. A great band.
