Thank you for that Joelle, ....I enjoyed browsing those photos and comments. I love the 'beat graffiti'.
I'm amazed at how ahead of their time the styles were. 1961 is before the whole 60s revolution in style. Pre. Beatles, pre. Mod. Those girls look like they could have been photographed today but it was 48 years ago.

It's so good to hear from Chris Yak, he was one of my favourite people on Eel Pie, although I didn't know him very well, there was so much going on for me. I loved his account of his memories but I guess one had to be there to know many of the names he mentions. I'm surprised that he was hanging out so early in the 60s, 'cos he still seemed so young in 69/70. I'm glad he still uses that word 'choogling'.
When Steve A and I went tramping around in Ireland in 73/74, we walked across a mountain in Co. Claire to visit Chris. He was living a back to earth lifestyle in a traditional Irish cottage with no mod. cons. He spent his time cutting turf for fuel and fishing for food.
