THE REACTION SHOWGROUP

Reaction 2008

Some former band members of Reaction meet again to recall those happy days of the 60's. Neil Thubron, Jimmy Fawcett, Barry McGurk and Kenny Allen enjoyed a reunion at the Coffee Rappor Bar in Hartlepool Marina on August 12th. Barry divides his time between Somerset and South Africa but spent a few days in Hartlepool to renew old friendships.

The Reaction at the Steelworks Club, in Hartlepool with Jimmy Fawcett on drums, Kenny Allen on guitar, Margaret Burgen,  Neil Thubron, Moira Forcer, George Hart, Olive Hart and Barry McGurk.

The Reaction Show from Hartlepool

This early photograph of Reaction was sent to us by Barry McGurk. He thinks it was their first gig at the Steelworks Club, in Hartlepool, about 1965. Kenny Allen is on white Fender Telecaster, Barry is on the Hofner violin bass, George Hart is at the back with Jimmy Fawcett on drums. The young ladies are Margaret Burgen and Moira Forcer.

Kevin Irish, Alan Lindridge, George Hart and Kenny Leighton as the Reaction Road Show about 1966.

Another from the archives dating back to about 1968. - the Reaction Showgroup with George Hart, Neil Thubron, Jimmy Fawcett and Eddie Saul. Olive Hart (now Olive Bage) who sent us the photograph, is standing in Neil's hand.
