[edit] Info on Wally and the Early Band

There seems to be some disagreement on various sites about the name(s) of those proto-Pistols, when Matlock joined (was he or was he not in the band with Wally?), and even whether Del Noone was or wasn't in the band. I went ahead and posted what seems to be a reasonable consensus of info, I might read around more later to find better sources. Or, I might not. I'm notoriously unreliable, you know. :) Eaglizard 10:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Cheers. There didn't seem to exist any other proper place where to post the member roster of The Strand, so I posted it here. Hope you guys don't mind. I've seen references to said line-up pretty much all over the place, so I can't understand why it's so hard to find. Anyways, there it is. I also added the link as reference. Okay, it's a GeoCities link so it doesn't really carry any weight, but it was the first I could find. The line-up info is pretty solid, anyhow. 82.181.208.26 12:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC) (Girl Dame! Seemingly one has to have an account on each and every national Wiki...)

Regarding the doubts to his actual existence, Wally Nightingale was interviewed by the journalist Jon Savage in his book 'England's Dreaming'. In his first autobiography 'Head On', Julian Cope also claims that he met Nightingale while tripping on LSD. Nightingale tried to start a fight with Cope by throwing a pint over him, but Cope disarmed him by admitting to his hallucinatory state and being generally baffling him.
