MBS reader Tiff Smith sent in this old snap of his band.
Tiif (pictured on drums) said: "This is a rare promotional photo of the Merlins 1963, Southminster's most hip amateur band back in the early 60s.
"We regularly played two or three times a week to packed audiences all over Essex, particularly in the Dengie Hundred."
L-R Graham 'Tiff' Smith, Jimmy Neal, Ivan Lawrence, Raymond Lee, Peter Nightingale and Max Catterwell.
