Brian Vickers: “Played in a band called the Burnettes during the early sixties with all sorts of people who were around Beckenham at the time. Met David Jones (now Bowie) when he played sax for the Konrads at Justin Hall and Peter Frampton when he played in the Trubeats and then the Herd. We cut a demo disk in Robertsons music shop, which was on the bend of Beckenham High St, on the day of Winston Churchills funeral in 1965. They had a record section upstairs and a small recording studio too, which was being manned that day by Peter Frampton behind the desk!”
