Anyone about from the Caithness music scene of the early sixties? Must still be some of us alive despite the excesses of the time!! Where are you Donny, Mike, Billy, Dennis, Robbie, Sandy, Donnie and Iain?

Looking forward to reliving much Monkey Business!!

Aye it was in 1964 we played in the Planets. So many people that we could not get off the stage at the break. Fond memories indeed!
