  • I have been a BIG fan of the Searchers since 1963 and tonight Monday 25th February 2019, 56 years on I joined them on their farewell tour at The Royal Hippodrome Theatre, Eastbourne. Good luck John, Frank, Spencer, and Scott, a shame about the cramped space in the theatre, and the rather tall man in front of me.on

    John McNally, Mike Pender, Chris Curtis, and Tony Jackson were the original Serchers. These were the guys back in 1964 who turned me into a Searchers fan.

    I’m amazed at the guitarists that came out of Liverpool in the 60s…they all made it look easy…i grew up thinking it was easy…then i bought a guitar….it looks nice on my bedroom wall..

    • @seeyouinmist3924
      @seeyouinmist3924 5 років тому +2

      I totally agree, its a load of hogwash. There was no DVD because they didn't want one. Its what we call in east Anglia, a bit of a rum do! I have talked to a few people now and what I can make out is that allegedly John did not want to retire, it was Frank. John allegedly stubbornly and firmly said that the last show was going to be nothing more and nothing less than any other show - and boy was he right. Don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable as they always are - but it felt as special as a wet Thursday afternoon at home. For me that is unforgiveable and a damned shame.

    • @r4ndym4n
      @r4ndym4n 5 років тому +2

      I had heard the same comments about Frank and John, and who wanted to stop,. Frank was fed up with all the driving, apparently. They should have had drivers, but more importantly, reduced their heavy schedule to a more manageable and sensible number of dates a year.

    • @seeyouinmist3924
      @seeyouinmist3924 5 років тому +1

      I agree - they brought it on themselves. Was it financial greed? I don't know. You can't make people in their 70s work if they don't want to, but if they are in the business for the right reasons there is an element of treating the fans in the right way which comes into play for me. They cannot be bad off money wise, and could and should have a) reduced their schedule, b) planned their gigs more carefully (one day in Scotland, next day in wales, then back up north) and c) got some drivers or took a flight! It feels stupid driving about!!! I would not do it and I am a good deal younger. Of course, they can claim 25p to 45p per mile from the taxman if they drive - that's a few grand extra per month!!!!! Its starting to make sense now........

    Saw them last year or was it 2019?. I enjoyed it. Also saw them early 80s in a disco! No stage, came on for about 40mins then back to the disco-ing! Times must of been tough then for them to do that.
