Hi , My name is Eric Bell & I was born in 1947,& raised in Hornchurch. When I was around 17 I was lucky enough to work at Jim Moore`s music shop in Hornchurch Road. What a great job for a young guitar nut eh!! I formed a group called "The Nighthawks" & we played quite frequently at the Bull. I remember old Jack Lewis, (who was a great friend of Jim Moor), who ran the pub. .Nice guy, ...see more

Mr Grain was my music teacher along with Miss Ruffles at Suttons. I was in his school choir and in 1963 or 64 we performed 'Nicholas and the Pickled Boys' in the school hall for the parents. Mr Grain was very strict, but he got us all singing. He accused me once of not washing the previous night's make up off, when actually I had, but I had applied fresh make up discreetly that morning hoping the teachers wouldn't notice as it was strict school rules, no make up allowed in school.
