Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

| I went to the same school as Excalibur. I remember seeing them play live in the school hall and getting out of lessons into the bargain.

| Quote JINJER="JINJER"Saw Limelight loads of time in the Wakefield area,other bands doing similar type of music at the same time were Bitter suite, Method and a band called Ponders end whose singer was John Parr of St Elmo's fire fame.'"
Saw all those several times, except Method who I don't remember. Fantastic stuff at WMCs back in the day. I didn't realise it was John Parr in Ponders End though. We saw him in a pub in Donny just after St Elmo's fire, stood on his own. We were too star struck & shy to go up & talk to him.

He used to flick his plectrum into the air and catch it behind his back!
Do you remember a Castleford band called Brick supply?

Nope. One of our faves was Squeeler. No idea where they were from.

Martin remembers Jab Jab at the Princeville as a great reggae band - here is an update
Jab Jab are releasing an album, Keep on Smiling available in July, they have a website, www.jabjab.co and are also reforming for a reunion gig and a documentary film about them is being made. Please spread the word and send a message to them via the website as they would love to hear your memories.
Despite their great popularity, they never had a record deal and their fans could not access their music outside live performances - until now! Incredibly Jab Jab are finally getting their music out there after the unearthing of lost reel to reel tapes and a live recording cassette. These have been rescued and their album will be released in July in time for their reunion gig at the Holmfirth Picturedrome Yorkshire on the 18th JULY next month. The documentary film traces their roots from the Caribbean Island of Carriacou to Yorkshire where they were based and they played professionally, nationally and abroad, for many years. They are on a mission to find their old fans and any help is much appreciated. lots of detail on their website and links to their facebook page etc. They are all wonderful people and it's great to finally get their music shared thanks to the more affordable technology of today, compared to when bands had to have a record deal. Record companies were interested but did not have a category back then for their ground breaking fusion of traditional Caribbean calypso, funk, rock, and reggae with driving African beats. Band mottos - 'make the bad times good and the good times better' and 'one nation'.
enjoy the site and the music, message them with memories, come to the gig - and please spread the word to help them find their old fans!
