VINCE DEACON AND THE REBELS

Vince Deacon and the Rebels

Vince Deacon and the Rebels was formed after the Trakkers broke up. Charlie 'Lance' McKie was the lead singer with the Trakkers and, for a short time, the band decided to disband until a new singer was found. The man who eventually replaced Charlie was Ronnie Penna from Horden and the Trakkers then became Vince Deacon and the Rebels. The photograph above shows, at the back, Stan Laundon on rhythm guitar, Ron Blair on bass and Billy Crallan on lead guitar. At the front is drummer Barry Cox and lead vocalist, Ronnie Penna.

Vince Deacon and the Rebels on stage - with Stan, Ron, Barry and Billy. Ron Blair and Barry Cox have good memories and recall this was at Wheatley Hill Dance. The photo on the right shows Stan, Vince (Ronnie Penna) Ron Blair and Billy Crallan.

I think the song we were singing (above) at the time might have been "We Say Yeah" which was an old Cliff Richard hit. Stan, on the right, didn't sing that many songs during the evening so it could have been "A Picture Of You."

A Shadows instrumental from Billy and fooling around - something we all did a lot during those days.

A few scratches on this one!

The Vince Deacon and the Rebels photographs are from the early 1960's.

Thanks to drummer Barry Cox for the photographic content on this page
