ROCK music of the early 1970s lived on in Parbold back in 1988.
Six old school friends pool musical talents to form band ‘Purple Haze’ to raise money for starving Ethiopians by staging a concert at Parbold Community Centre.
Lead singer Jes Barnes and his brother Eddie, on keyboard, teamed up with friends Alex Candlin and Owen Burdekin and brothers Tim and Paul Osbaldeston.
Guitarist Tim told the Advertiser at the time: “We have all been playing music for a while but we have been together as a group for about six months. It is a hobby really.”
Jes said: “Our influences range from Eric Clapton to Jimi Hendrix, most of our songs are cover versions because we do not get much time to practise together.”
