An article on the split up of Concrete Parachute:
Can anyone tell me the local band members of Concrete Parachute? I think my dad Ian Meyer was the bassist for the group. Any info or photographs would be great.
Hi Samantha,
An article in the Bucks Advertiser on 11 July 1968 titled “Concrete Parachute bites the dust” list the mambers as:
Ian Myer (bass guitar), Robert Woods (lead guitar), James Hopkins (trumpet), Jimmy Hemmings (drums), Ken Vincent (vocals) and Dave Hillsden (saxophone).
Spellings as shown in the article!
I have added the article to the 1968 Social Club page.
Brilliant, thank you. Do you know if they played BAH at all. He was also in a band called Arandorius (not sure is spelling is correct) Life.
Thanks
Yes they did play at The BAH
I haven’t seen any listing of appearances at the BAH – though that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen! I have an article that shows Concete Parachute was the new name of the Big O Flap Band – changing the name and a new stage act incorporating more rock and roll music.
