Hello Mike;
A tremendous fan for fifty years. My original LP's were the Beatles and the Searchers. Love and miss the music of those glorious days. Hope you find time to visit the States in the near future.
Best of wishes!

Heard the news yesterday about Bill Adamson. His spirit has left this earth though his body still lies somewhere in France. I well remember Bill joining the Band at the end of the '60s taking over from Johnny Blunt. He was still there when I left to form MPS in 1985.

Bill was an excellent drummer and was coveted by many bands even after joining us. We were never really close and as with Frank and John it was a friendly/business relationship which is not surprising seeing as we lived 200 miles apart.

Bill is now the fifth person with Searcher connections to leave this wonderful world, the others being Johnny Sandon and Tony West from the early pre-Searchers' days and of course, the two original and unforgettable 'Golden Searchers', Tony Jackson and Chris Curtis.

Goodbye Bill, you were a great drummer.

Mike Pender.

I am sure many of you will remember Billy Adamson, drummer with The Searchers from 1969 (after John Blunt) up until 1998. Sadly he passed away in hospital, after a short illness, aged only 69 years. Together with his wife Hilary they moved to live on the French Riviera, over ten years ago, which is where he spent his last days.

Saw Mike yesterday at the Big E, he was brilliant.

Hi-my dad and I attended a day trip to the Big E in Springfield, MA today-Mike's show-the whole group were just fantastic to watch even sing along with-well done

Thanks for reminding us Roger. It was Tony who sang lead vocals on 'Sweets For My Sweet' the first No 1 and the song was driven by his strong bass playing. My favourite Searchers recordings are the earlier ones when Tony and Mike sang some brilliant harmonies.
