The End
After a brief meeting in a pub in Nettleham, the remaining members of the band decided to call it day. We regret to announce that Salvador has
split up. The death of Andy has left a hole that cannot be filled (no dis-respect to Ian who did a superb job at the last ever gig). Andy may
not have been the best drummer in the world, but he was our drummer and we'll miss him terribly. These web pages will remain as a tribute to
the least well known band in Lincolnshire. The e-mail addresses will become defunct, apart from the webmaster e-mail address and Jonathan's
e-mail address (basically because they are the same)
News
Andy passed away in hospital on Monday 22nd October 2007 after losing his battle with cancer brought on by Crohns disease, a condition he
lived with all of his adult life. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Our heartfelt sympathy is with his wife Becky, his parents David and Suzanne, his sister Michelle and his parents-in-law Norman and Angela.
The Last Gig
The band, in consultation with Andy Onion's wife Becky and his parents decided to do a memorial gig at the village hall in Saxilby, where
Andy grew up. It was on Saturday the 10th May 2008. Our former drummer (Ian) was press ganged into playing with us for this event. The event
raised nearly £2500 for the National Association of Colitis and Crohns (NACC). Andy
had Crohns and did much to raise the awareness of the disease. It is fitting that this last gig raised so much money for a
charity Andy supported so strongly.
Recording
We did go to a recording studio and record a CD. The songs were "Brown Eyed Girl", "Stuck In A Moment", "If She's Leaving" and "Don't Go".
Go to the songs page to hear the two original songs we recorded, these being "If She's Leaving" and "Don't Go".
I will attempt to get some pictures up on the site later.
T-Shirts
Salvador T-Shirts are probably no longer available, although I could probably lay my hands on some if I had to.
Pictures
Still haven't got the pictures from our last gigs up on the Pictures page. It will eventually get done.
Clippings page
This was an idea from Adam, to add a page where our press clippings could live. We managed to accumulate the one
press clipping. Click here to see it.
