George went to my school, tho. a few years my junior. A bass player with the Bumblies and The Cryin' Shames. (The 'Bumblies' name had to be dropped because of copywrite problems) He did pretty good as a bass player, lives in Snowdonia and drives a couple of Caddy's (not at the same time) Still tours with his wife as The Cryin' Shames, as the name was his. Another Scouse from a working class background that did good in the Mersey Sound Boom.
Did a guy called Ritchy Routlege play in the Cryin Shames or am I getting mixed up with another group?.
I'll mail george and ask 'im for ya.:)
Cheers Bob.Quote:

I only know Richie because he lived near me in Everton and we must have only been about 15 or something. I always remember him being one of the first people to wear ice blue jeans and jacket, he looked dead cool.

Whatever happened to Joey Kneen who was in the Cryin Shames
I played darts in the same darts team with him years ago(about 30 years ago ) but lost touch with him
Thanks for any info you may have ...
Eddieb,

I think Bobby would be flattered that he still makes things roll along.
