I was an avid fan of the C.V.S. in the early to late 50, s.I asked Mary Mc Gowan to dance with me at at Dance/concert in AYR, after dancing with Mary I was a hero around my buddies, can anyone tell me how I can source some early recordings of C.V.S.with Mary as vocalist.

Can`t comment on this picture but I remember standing in Brodick,Arran in the early 60`s and listening to a 20min. drum solo from C.V.S drummer. OH HAPPY DAYS.

I remember them playing at a dance in the Stromness town hall. That could have been 58 ?. The Stromness band gave them a spell half way through, I remember that was my first shot on a 20" ride cymbal. We got tickets for their dance in the Cosmo the following night, and that same autographed photo. I have an LP of the band if anwbody would like it ! Ron Marwick
