Playing a on Farfisa organ (with footpedals) he linked up with Derek Thirlwell (guitar) and Jim Hickey (drums) and we played as a trio. The name "Hawkley Fox Combo" was derived when we were calling someone about a booking and were using a public 'phone box. When we were asked what our name was, I noticed the STD code list on the phone box wall and saw "Hawkley" ( a place near Midhurst, and so the name "Hawkley Fox" was born. We were a bit different in that we wore smart gear and bow ties, even though we played anything, including group numbers like "green onions" and "walkin' the dog" plus rock.

The Hot Rods The group s name (late 50s/early 60s) The Hot Rods but they seem to have had loads of members. The drummer is indeed Jim Lawrence and while The Barnsley Brothers the twins are fondly remembered as the men who started and ran BASINS in the 1980s. Mick was one of the Brothers.
