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 one of Mike Taylor.
In February 2005 the band again reformed for a gig at the Sprinvale 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!
