about

In 1978 'Huggy Leaver' audition to be the lead singer of the Kent based Punk band 'The Rivals', but he was turned down. Then in 1979, the Mod Revival started sweeping the UK after the film 'Quadrophenia' had been shown at all the cinema's up and down the country. So 'Huggy' decided to start his own band 'The Teenbeats' with four other musicians from the Hastings area. They went on to release two singles on the 'Safari' label and a compilation appearance on the 'Uppers on the South Downs' album. Then in 1980, the band received a lot of attention from Canada of all places and had a top ten hit with 'I Can't Control Myself' on a label called 'Gamma'. The 'Uppers on the South Downs' album was also released in Canada on the same label but the title was changed to 'I Can't Control Myself'. This was a very strange and bizarre happening, why Canada of all places? While 'Huggy' was doing this with 'The Teenbeats', 'Nick Sayer' & 'Mark Storr Hogins' started a new band called 'Fan Club' who went onto release one single on the 'M&S' label in 1978. The single was called 'Avenue' / 'Night Caller', only 500 copies were pressed and sold rather badly at the time. Today, 'Huggy' is a established actor and has appeared in 'Lockstock and Two Smoking Barrels' along side 'Vinny Jones', has also starred along side 'Sean Connery' and as of late can be found in Eastenders' in the Miller family as 'Clint'. This is where we tracked him down after just leaving the set Eastenders. We managed to ask him
