Story...

The Convicted were from Southend, existed between 1979 -1983, and consisted of Paul Eves on Vocals, Mark Harvey on Guitar, Andi Schurer on Bass (until 1982 when he left and was replaced by Stuart Douglas) and John Dee on Drums for the first two gigs until he left and was replaced by Pete (Peat) Melling on Drums. Speaking to Andi Schurer in 2005, he said "The first two gigs with John Dee on drums were at Scamps and Crocs, and the Crocs gig ended in a pitched battle between the crowd and the band after Paul Eves punched the singer of The Sinyx, the bands gear was trashed and John Dee left. Pete Melling from the Speedball offshoot 'The Pinks' then joined on Drums." The next gigs were The Grand Hotel, where they had a residency, and The Liberty Bell. The band wanted to
get some of their songs down on tape however, and in 1981 recorded four
tracks at Speedball's studio in London Denmark Street with Idiot's Barry
Godwin producing and playing keyboards. The songs recorded were 'Didn't
Make It', 'Revolution', 'It Was All Lies' and 'On The Streets Again'. |
