The Sad People

[in a mo]

In 1969 I auditioned for a band from London called "The Sad People" ,we recorded a single called "Lonley Boy" ,,do you have any information anywhere regarding this band,I lived in the Westcountry (Devon)this was a big deal at the time I was 16 and had never played in a proper group before ,I went along to the audition and the gig was mine,I left my job as an apprentice , and spent 2 great years with this band I met someone from Norway a few years ago who was a Translator for Television ,he managed to find some information in a Rock music reference book regarding The Sad People" sadly we lost touch,if any information comes to hand I would be very grateful for any help.

Thank you

The picture of the single shows it was on the chapter 1 label and had a number of CH113 which may help you find it.

VHG Hi thank you for the link ,I did know the title but I have found that if you enter the first word of a title of a song (obviously not The, oh, or ah etc words) ,there are more chances of finding the correst song.

I shall let you know the result

Many thanks

NoK sorry to intrude upon your chatt er *ankers

I have been searching for this disc for many years ,my copy was lost when a friend of mine Gary Parr" was helping me unload some equipment from a boat, he was a little bit tips'y he offered to help ,I refused, he still tried, he fell dropped a couple of cases over into Plymouth Sound ,we managed to rescue a few items ,the disc went out to sea now laying at the bottom of the sea .
This has been INCREDIBLE you will never believe how I feel ,Thank you,Thank,Thank you.

I have tried to listen to the track on the link below, but it doesn`t appear to be working. I would love to hear it again or the B side Turn Around, as I only have the memory. Great to hear you are still arround Mo, must get together sometime, please email me at [email protected]

'Mo', can you remember who was in the band and what they played? Paul Norman was the bass player I've deduced, then all I can find is Bryn, Malcolm, John and Mo (you)!

[in a mo]

The Line Up for the Sad People Malcolm was the drummer ,John was keyboard player, Paul Norman Bass Player,I was lead singer and rhythm guitar.
The Manager was called Bryn,we lived in a House in Brixham South Devon
