Finland & Germany

10th July, we played to a packed 60's forever concert at Porvoo, just outside Helsinki. It was Scotts 1st outside concert with The Searchers and less than a week later, 16th July he had his 2nd outside concert to over 2000 people just outside Cologne in Germany. Suzi Quatro was headling


Back on the road

The Searchers returned to work on May 19th, just, after John got stuck in Geneva when all planes were grounded again, due to the ash cloud.
We played to a packed out show in Fareham, then it was off to Sweden to work on a cruise ship, then back home to 2 more sold out shows in Alnwick and Ilkney and we even had time to throw 3 more 'new' songs into the set

Holiday

The Searchers are taking a well earned holiday from April 26th till May 18th 2010

Thank You

Scott would like to say another big thank you to the fans who have contacted him through this website with their personal messages. While he can not reply to all of them, He did want to say the messages have not got lost and he has received them while on the road


Slyde

As well as playing with The Searchers during March, Scott will also be playing with Slade and glam rock tribute, Slyde

Scott will be 'depping' for his old drum seat for gigs in Weymouth(20th) and Skegness (31st)

5 gigs in and all is well

Well 5 gigs in with The Searchers and all is going well. The 1st gig in Shrewsbury was fun, with only 1.5 hours to rehearse for the show, but all Scott's home work paid off

The following shows in Sinah Warren, Swansea, Skegness and Barking have got better and better as Scott has relaxed in to the role and a very big thank you must go out to the fans who have helped!

The Searchers

Scott can now officially announce that he has joined the legendary 60's group, The Searchers

Scott would also like to wish Eddie and Jane all the best for the future and would like to add a very big thank you to some of the fans who have already contacted him, through this site, and he can't wait to meet you all!

Charity gig

Scott will be making an appearance at Dirty South, Lewisham, London on Saturday 6th Feb for a 60's themed charity gig.
The band have not met, except for Scott's great friend Allan Burls who is on bass, and will probably not have a rehearsal due to everyone's commitments, but it should be a great night
