Many moons ago I used to play in a band' The Chevrons', well known on the South Wales circuit but never made the big time. Around at the same time was Dave Edmunds.
Also Tommy Scott and the Senators were on the circuit and Tommy later changed his name to Tom Jones.
Some years later working in Crawley my boss had a son Robert Smith who brought his band to play at the office Christmas bash....the band was The Cure ( I worked for a pharmaceutical company so you can see maybe where the name came from).
