Rob Struthers | Rampage & The Techniques | April 2008
Hi Daddy. I found the site after trying to find some Slaves Of Janet info, and up you popped. Ken and Jan Lailey of SOJ are still mates of mine and I still see them sometimes, but I was in a band called Rampage that took part in a Battle Of The Bands gig in Seaford with them.

It was won by the Techniques eventually - remember them? We came second. I played guitar. I doubt anyone remembers us, but we were mod wannabes. Played the Northern and Alhambra in Brighton fairly regularly until we morphed into D'Arc and became part of that moody thing that went on in the early 80's. I guess as D'Arc we did a bit better, but not much. I loved Brighton so much I moved here in '79 and stayed ever since. Great site and it's brought back a lot of memories. Rob Struthers
