Who's playing the Sax on the right ? Interesting that the Maestro can only manage the maracas, and LB11's hero is playing the very difficult clarinet. Old Demps looks a bit gormless  :drums:

[sunburywhite]

But the Maestro is three bars ahead opf everyone else

Sorry - who is it on drums?

[TonyGilroy]

John Dempsey on drums. Sax I think is Mike Pentecost.

[keith]

I think the bloke on the Sax is Johnny Byrne.

[bulgariawhite]

It's a clarinet and he has the look of a young Malcolm  MacDonald ?

Actually I think you might be right....it's JB......

[TonyGilroy]

JB was twice that size at that time. He made Brian Dear look slim.

I'm almost certain it's Pentecost.

[LBNo11]

...Clarinet: Les Barrett + Drums: John Dempsey + Maracas: Johnny Haynes + Saxophone: John (Budgie) Byrne (positive - and he was not playing the saxophone - he was eating it!)...

[Fernhurst]

Despite No1 Dempsey looking glum, great picture, great memories which I have never seen before, Thanks WN.

NVII ( not very interesting info) Bout the same time as this pic, I was playing in the Surrey Senior League for a team featuring Budgies brother Micky.... Bloody good player.

Don't think so , he wasn't called Budgie for nothing and by the time he came to Fulham he should have been called a turkey, looks far too slim for Byrne

...see WhiteNoise's link it is Budgie Byrne (looks nothing like Mike Pentecost BTW)...

In YOUR opinion.

[LBNo11]

...of course it is all about opinions - BTW these photos were taken after Budgie Byrne had left the club.

Here are pictures after Mike Pentecost had been on a diet and changed his hair colour:-

Ah......the age of innocence.

Nowadays given the cult of celebrity it seems to be more a case of get lashed, tweet something stupid, followed by some good old dogging in the car park.

OK, perhaps I am exaggerating...

[The Equalizer]

Let's all agree to disagree and just accept that it's Harry Secombe on sax.
