Northern Connections #38 Aqua Lads re-visited, taking in the Chantells & Twighlights
The most recent issue of this long running informative series courtesy of Ken b aka @Kenb
Intro
sparked by the Soul Source topic “What goes up must come down” of Nov 2024… …about The Charms Unlimited and Soul Inc and very good it was too, got me thinking about a re-visit of The Aqua Lads, Chantells, etc.
It’s worth pointing out at this juncture that some written information about those that follow is published, (but skip Discogs) go straight to E. Mark Windle’s Interview & book “It’s Better To Cry”. It has a worthy section, and I recommend it. Albeit I’ve never found Mark’s reference “and a later band member Ken Hatley (bass guitar, 1967) “ when searching
for band members. Also, as of writing and due to serious illness, Mark Bicknell’s release on Big Man Records of Aqua Lads backed with Twighlights with notes by Mark Windle hasn’t yet to hit the shops. That all said, I've tried where possible to bring new information and pictures without compromising their work.
