Formed from The Trespassers
The Mystics, with
- Dave Pain (singer)
- Ian Milton (guitar)
- Bill Regan (drums)
- Phil Kirk (keyboards)
- Mick Cork (bass)
played all kinds of stuff (Animals, etc), making use of the addition of a keyboard player in Phil, who was pretty good, though Ian Milton left at some stage and was replaced towards the end by an old friend , Trevor Wright. Before that, though, they had become fairly well established in east Kent under the management of Roger West.
Bill had come out of Henry (which also featured Johnny Etchells) and was reputed to be on of the best drummers in Folkestone for quite some time.
Although they had plenty of laughs, Mick fell out with the rest, over - guess what - a girlfriend who was getting the way and was chucked out!!! Disgraceful. They got local legend Johnny Berry in on bass, but didn't last too much longer.
Played locally at places like the Hillside Club, formerly Pfizers where Bill once jammed with Noel and Hendrix late at night. One of the happier times.
