  2. I was the pianist in Group Indigo and did a couple of gigs with the Roadrunners before they became the Bo Street Runners. I didn't stay with them as I was unable to afford an electric keyboard at the time but I did a few dep jobs with them when Bobby O'Brien was not available, two of these being at the Railway Hotel. I wonder if anyone in the band still remembers me?
