Hi there - saw this and it was a really sad moment.
I played bass in Doris Kent and a few bands with Adrian and Nigel.
lovely fellas both - Adrian was a fabulous guitarist - such a great feel, tone and style.
Nigel equally a very underrated drummer. As solid a drummer as you could wish to play alongside.
We were of an age, three days apart for birthdays!
i remember sitting in the knackered hired van driving to gigs with Stan their dad driving
we were in a rock band ‘Oasis’ … yes really, hoping to hit the heights
rehearsed and gigged in the midlands but got overtaken by punk, Ska, two tone and the New Romantics
here’s a link to a video of Adrian starring as we played at the Battle of the Bands in Coventry
RIP Adrian - you were a bloody good bloke - Steve
