Ta times 10 to Kaiser Johnny Maben and his lovely missus Jane (seen sporting a serious do with the lads below) for these backstage and stage snaps of The Ravemen's benefit soiree in December at the Boston Music Room, near Tufnell Park, North London.
This musical side project featured a glad reunion of ex-Rapiers bassist Brad Dallaston and Neil Ainsby—last seen together as Rapiers in 2001—for a holiday night of stonking British Beat (sorry, still no set list supplied!), audience twisting and jiving, plus musicians sporting always fashionable black-on-black finery right out of Hamburgh's Reeperbahn, circa 1962.
And of course-in the last shot, you can see our two twistastic finalists in the twist competition (resplendent in their finery) Mauro Buddy Caloni our friend from Italian 60s beatland and much admired Peter Berry (he of the Shake Set, no less)
