I regarded him as the "treasure of the North" for the very good reason that every band throught his hands would be invited into his office where he would extoll the virtues of drug free living. This was a brave thing to do in those days and he did it with much sincerity. Ricky Gardiner Beggars Opera I would like to give a warm and grateful thanks to Albert Bonici.

I remember the night the Troggs played, we were right at the front and someone managed to grab Reg's white bellbottoms and ripped the leg up to the crutch!!!! Those were the days.
