Hellraisers

Following a break for more records, we then introduced... THE HELLRAISERS! They have been playing under this name for three years, having been formed out of the Houseshakers. Their line-up is Graham Fenton (vocals), Terry Clemson (guitar), Dave Taylor (piano), Paul Oldnall (bass), and John Hollywood (drums).

 

They have backed some of the greatest U.S. Rock 'n' Roll stars, such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent and Chuck Berry. The Hellraisers certainly live up to their name on this album and roared through standards like Bill Haley's 'Rock The Joint' and Jerry Lee's 'Whole Lotta Shakin'. One of Dave Taylor’s compositions, 'Dim Light Boogie' with Graham sounding (and looking) like the late great Gene Vincent himself, really show off their versatility.

 


 

At the end of their spot, the crowd were going wild. '1-2-3-4, LISTEN TO THE TEDDY BOYS ROAR!!'


And from the Hellraisers' 1976 tour of Finland:
