Revised Line-up
Ozzy 'Kro-Bar' Garvey - drums
Dave Barnard - vocals, bass
Tony Maybury - guitar
Eric Wright - vocals, lead guitar
When Frank Smith left the DP's circa 78, Tony Maybury was brought in to replace him. Tony had been playing guitar with local outfit Midnight & the Lemon Boys.
The Lemon Boys had a great sound, obviously influenced by U2 who they had recently been on tour with.
U2 were largely unknown at the time but a lot of the Edge was evident in Tony's playing.
A year later, after the Dp's split up, Tony was to appear in The Vandells line-up, along with Dave Barnard, The modern sound of the Vandells was more suited to Tony's subtle style than the crashing power chords of the DP's.
RIP
