The Tea Set

The Tea Set
c 1966 - Rugby Band.


Andy Hayward, Bob Bostrum, Geoff Anthil formed The Tea Set from the remains of Sam Spade and the Grave Diggers with the introduction of Andy Kerrigan on guitar and Vocalist Little Joe Conway from Ireland's Miami Showband. "We were kitted out in custom made outfits playing hard rock" Andy admits. "We worked for entrepreneur Reg Calvert of Radio London and The Fortunes fame. We stood in for stable mates Pinkertons Assorted Colours after they went off touring with their hit Mirror Mirror and took over the Nag's Head. residency in Nuneaton.

"We recorded a self-penned ballad You made me cry, but were probably best remembered as the band on stage at Nuneaton's Co-op Hall when four people were tragically crushed to death on a staircase attempting to get into a packed New Year's Eve ball."
