Who remembers Exeter rock'n'roll band,The Cougars?
If you do you'll be tapping your feet at the news that "Johnny's Original Cougars" are getting together again, after several years, for a one night only appearance to headline a Music Festival at the Heart of Oak pub in Pinhoe, Exeter, on Saturday,August 2.
The band will create the nostalgia of Rock n' Roll, in the evening, together with a taste of Rockabilly.
The 1960's outfit is made up of original members Mike Lloyd, John Ffoulkes, and Mike Emery, who joined the band in the 1980's.
They will be accompanied by newcomer, drummer Graham Pickard, formerly of "In Sect", and "Dufflebags", who have toured France, and recently released a CD.
The summer party will also star Sarah Yeo, a talented local singer and songwriter, and "Reckless", one of Exeter's top party bands playing hits from the 1970's. The event starts at noon and continues into the evening.
The Garden Festival will feature live bands throughout the day and children's activities include an assault course, bouncy castle, and rodeo bull (adults also). There will be face painting, and an all day BBQ.
The event will be raising cash for the Devon Air Ambulance.
