During the 50s and 60s the number of bands playing in mand around London were few - compared to the burgeoning number that crowded the pubs, bars and clubs since X-Factor and Popstars hit our TV screens. Here are some memories of those who first trod the path to rock stardom...

• Early days with Ian (Thunderfoot) Purdy
• The Spartans
• The Barristers
• The Blue Dukes
• The Riot Squad
• The Silver Dollars
• Dante's Inferno
• The Alexander Patton Group
• Herbie and The Deltas
• The Karilion
