WAS your youth spent trying to ‘make it big’ with your band?

If you played the local pubs and clubs, and rehearsed in sheds or garages, we want to hear from you.

Maybe you did have some success, and have the albums to prove it or won a battle of the bands.

If you were in a group from the Wrexham or Flintshire areas, please get in touch, we would love to hear all about the good old days - 70s to the 90s, or even earlier.

Whether it was a beatband like The Venturers, pictured here in Wrexham in 1963 or something a bit wilder, such as crazy drummer Eric Owens from Buckley and his TeePee band from 1977.
