See if this works

[ROCKY]

Nope, probably cause I don't belong to Fb.

[pothos]

That makes sense. I could only post the links as I do not have the rights to the images.

Johhny Guitar's guitar is up for sale. In an alternate universe I would go for this.

Thank you for the Heads-Up pothos! AUCTION 10-06-2024

Changed over to U S Dollars that is up for - $13,131,50 - 19,697.25 USD. - $13k-20k.
A nice tidy some. I'm sure a guitar museum or a Hard Rock Cafe will win it.

Pothos did you check out the 34 pics accoupling the auction? Some I don't remember ever seeing before!

Here's a photo of my replica of Johnny's Guyatone LG50 guitar.



....and a photo of Johnny's from the auction.

[pothos]

Yes I thought some were new as well. I hope whoever gets it puts it on public display. If I had it I would have it on perminant loan with the V&A. People not only would see it but they would look after it properly.

[pothos]

Johnny's stage suit is up for auction as well.

Look to the right you can see more new images of RSATH. I love the one of them in suits with the bags.

[pothos]

Also a pair of Johnny's boots.

Again if you look to the right there are new images of Johnny Guitar that I have never seen before.

[ROCKY]

Those cowboy boots must have been all the rage in the early 60's.
Here's a pic of the Beatles with theirs that they wore in Hamburg.

[pothos]

We are coming up to the 52nd anniversary of the passing of Rory and Violet. Hope that the band are still rocking on.

[ROCKY]

you mean Violet pothos. R I P

[pothos]

Thank you for pointing that out. My memory is bad these days and sorry for the mix up.

Hi everyone, I'm Mia.
I've learned about this whole thread just yesterday and I'm fascinated. I read all 237 pages just last night, haha.
I have been interested in RSATH since I really started listening to The Beatles, but I found myself more and more obsessed over them in the last months. I was even digging anywhere I could to find any address or info about any of the Hurricanes and if there was any way of contacting them nowadays until I found out they all passed away because of your replies. Truly heartbreaking. They'll always be missed and cherished.
Anyways. I'm fascinated by this thread; how everyone knows every detail, the years of dedication spent here answering and helping each other, the way some of you got to be friends/close to the ex-members and Iris... truly amazing. Not to mention I got to accidentally discover the development of the book about The Hurricanes I'm willing to buy soon.
It's a shame so much pictures shared here had faded/disappeared over time. I wanted to know if anyone here has a higher quality version of this specific Butlin's photo - I know there are similars where they pose like that, but I'm searching this one where Ringo looks to the side while holding his drumsticks. I found the first version a while ago in Beatlesource (The Savage Young Beatles) website, and the second one in an expired auction of a collection of vintage postcards/photographs (I can't recall if it was eBay or other memorabilia auction site...).
To finish my message, I wanted to show my Hurricanes shirt which I sent to be made and I now love so much, haha. :-)
