The Howdy-Doodys were:  Kevin Nash (guitar), Guy Morgan (drums), Vince Parker (guitar) and Ade Foster (bass guitar).  These four singing boys take their turn to handle either lead or backing vocals. They are four long-time friends who would meet up regularly at the bottom of Ade`s garden, to perform, practice for gigs and record music in the Stubby Lane area of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. They say you may find fairies at the bottom of the garden, but here in this garden, you would find four hard-rockers, every Thursday evening. A certain vigour comes across in their live performances, and many of those sessions have been recorded, mixed and can be heard here on this page. In order that the listener may join in with the occasional frivolity accompanying these sessions, band member and erstwhile post-recording producer Guy Morgan has deliberately left in some pre and post-song rambling. Though they have now all gone their separate ways, these sessions capture the essence of the music evenings  that were. All the boys hope that you thoroughly enjoy your listen.
