The True Expression

The True Expression

Charley Anderson (Ex Selecter) "My first taste of engineering live sounds touring with this band from Coventry. Gaps Hendrickson roadie, Tony Banger Walsh was the chief security officer ;-) Vocalist George E Austin, Vernon Clarke and Don Mayers were TRUE EXPRESSIONS the best soul vocalist band from Coventry."

"Charlie Aitch from Gloucester arrived in Coventry with Lynval where they were living and playing some music. They came to Coventry to join up with local music guru Ray King. I went on the road mixing for a soul band True Expression, sang and sometimes played bass and also learned to play the rhythm pans with the Tropical Harmony steel band at week end they always have a gig and I was never out of work. Lynval ended up with Jerry Dammers in the Automatics (The pre Specials) Aitch and I formed Hard Top 22 consisting of the members who would eventually become the Selecter: Gaps, Aitch, Desmond, Komie Amanor, and I."
