Reunion Gigs
© Herbie’s People
So successful was the reunion gig, that another was organised in 1995, again at the
Springvale Club. Once more the band played to a packed house, and folk were asking
whether this was going to become a regular event.
However, two reunions were two more than anybody had expected and no further gigs
were envisaged. However, January 2001 saw them in action once again for a very special
occasion, when they did an hour's spot, to the great surprise and delight of the guests.
And yet again . . .
May 3rd 2002 saw Herbies People performing live once more for the landmark birthday of
Mike Taylor.
In February 2005 the band again reformed for a gig at the Springvale Club in Bilston. The
object was to raise money for the Asian Tsunami Appeal. Due to the hard work and
commitment of Dan, the band raised £2600.

Logistics for effecting a
reunion gig fall to the lot of
Lee and Ian Beddow, Len's
sons. Lee runs his own
successful recording studio,
Abbey Sound, where the
band can rehearse
undisturbed. He also provides
the instruments and
amplification. Ian is a
performer in his own right
with a great stage act. They
obviously got the bug from
dad!
