The Batteries were a school band, who also existed outside school. We played gigs. We made recordings and we were played on the radio. How? Perseverance and songs. Songs and singing by me, me, me; Paul Galley aged 17 at the time plus rhythm guitar. Bass and backing vocals and lead guitar, too, by Andy Parsons, who was 15 at the time (in '76) amazing! Drums and so much more by my best friend, ever, Russell Gould. Brilliant photos by Russell's brother and Andy's friend, David Gould. Forever greatful! It lasted a couple of years, but now, for ever, as we still have the studio tracks.
