Both, Jeremy and Graham were fans of the blues and members of the Tamla-Motown Appreciation Society as Mick, Brian and Keith Ron Carmichael, Lonesome Dave Peverett (later a member of Savoy Brown and founder of Foghat), Brian Jones, Jeremy Pender (on the back, hidden), Mick Jagger, Graham Ackers, Keith Richards and Harry Simmonds, brother of Savoy Brown's founder and leader Kim Simmonds. Mick and Keith with photos of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley - Surbiton, a suburb of London, September 1962 © Mike Ashby Some more about this pictures, courtesy of Jeremy Pender as exclusive for Rocks Off some years ago (sent by e-mail to me: The photo was almost certainly taken in the house of a fellow called Mike Ashby, in Surbiton, a suburb of London. The London group of rhythm-and-blues fans that was starting to emerge at that time had come together through an exchange of letters in the music paper New Record Mirror, the editor at the time being a great supporter of R&B called Norman Jopling. Dave Godin had at about the same time formed the Tamla-Motown Appreciation Society, and Mike Ashby, Graham Ackers, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were all members.
I became aware of the group when Graham Ackers replied to a letter I'd written to New Record Mirror asking other R&B fans to get in touch with me. It wasn't long before I too was joining in the regular Sunday-afternoon record-spinning sessions in Mike Ashby's house!
Harry Simmonds, Dave Peverett and Ron Carmichael were all members of the Bill Haley Fan Club, as was Mike Ashby, and Mike one day decided to start inviting those three to join the rest of us on those wild Sunday afternoons!
