Early Bands
|
The early days in England had Sheila playing bass for the first time. The days of hot-pants and stacked-boots; spandex and long hair--and that was just the guys. |

The 70's & 80's were such a refreshing time for music. Country, Rock, Motown, and Disco were all topping the charts. Bands had to be good at all genres to keep working. It was a great training ground and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. |

Bob Haines, Bob Waller and Sheila on her first bass, a "Shaftsbury" working in SW England until the next line-up. The versatile Jon Rudd Band had a 5-year residency at "Pontins" Holiday Camp. 6 nights a week throughout the long seasons and road-work in the winter months kept us in shape. "Heartbeat" was Harvey Coles on guitar and Sheila rocking out with the US troops in the Persian Gulf for 9 years. |
