Lee Parker & The
Vibratones |
Hello, my name is George Parker (formerly Lee Parker)
and my group was The
Vibratones. Our manager was an English man, Horace
Champion. We had a saxophone
player, Denis, who joined us when we were playing
dances to give us a bigger sound.
We were formed in Belfast by myself and Billy Naylor
and if my memory serves me
right, we ran from 1960 until 1964. Although we
toured and played all over Ireland, we were mostly found in and
around Belfast. We played the Plaza Ballroom with
Brian Rossi and Betty Staffs, both on a regular
basis. We performed on shows
with
Van Morrison and his group and on Ulster Television with Dusty
Springfield.We also did radio shows for Radio Eireann and toured
with Kenny Lynch, Tommy
Roe and Big Dee Irwin.
Thanks
to George Parker |
