No Stiletto Shoes

Gary Brooker and friends, Chiddingfold, UK


These pictures of Gary and The No-Shoes in action, taken during two show just before Christmas 1995, were submitted to BtP by Hans Volkhardt. "I was there with two friends, Peter and Anette, Whalers too," he writes. "We enjoyed both concerts, Friday and Saturday. The atmosphere was very nice and familiar." More from Hans here and here.

Far left, Hans with fellow Whalers Frans Steensma, Hermann Braunschmidt and Paul Thelen.

Procolers Dave Bronze, Geoff Whitehorn and Frank Mead ...
although of course Frank would not play with Procol Harum for another
five years ...

Margo Buchanan shares a mic with Chris Thompson, co-author of Keith Reid's 'other' No 1 Hit, and also co-writer of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle from The Prodigal Stranger album. Also visible, Geoff Whitehorn ... but who is that at the keyboard on the far right of the picture?

Gary in different raiment ... Andy Fairweather Low at the back ... also in different clothes
