The Storms

Rob Tall - ALWAYS Lead Vocalist no matter what changes occurred behind him Bernie Morley - ALWAYS Lead Guitar
Alan Ordish (now at Rowlands Castle) - FIRST bass-player Paul Acourt - FIRST drummer, that's the original line-up from about 1960/61 at Leigh Park.
Martyn Neale - replaced Alan Ordish on bass (though he was known as 'Mark' back then)
Mick Eveleigh - replaced Martyn Neale on bass, and did back-up vocals as well. Carried on gigging, sang blues, played rhythm-guitar after the Storms
still playing around Pompey, sometimes with Bernie.
There was a drummer who replaced Paul Acourt when he went to London for work - his first name was 'Denny' - not sure about last name.
The four that went to Germany as pros for about 1 year and played the Star Clubs was ROB, BERNIE, MICK & PAUL in 1965 & 1966.
Also, part of the time in Germany we had a keyboard player called 'Mark',
and for a short while a very good keyboard-man called CHRIS DENNIS (from Hammersmith way), who lived and played in Italy most of his life and still does.
