Guest Book & Fans' comments

My sister and I used to come to your concerts in the early 90's, when we lived in London. I was so sad to hear of your son's passing. I was very shocked. Mike Jr spoke of Nathan fondly. Best wishes!

Just want to wish Mike a very Happy Birthday for today, 3rd March.

Happy birthday Mike I will be coming down from Newcastle to see you at the Cavern in Liverpool. Have a nice birthday

Mr. Pender, I just found your late 70's stuff for the first time in my life just after finding your site here and having already shelled out about a year ago for the first five albums from the Merseyside era. I gotta tell you, absolutely incredible power-pop in the vein of Big Star but completely original and unique, wonderful harmonies to top it off. Absolutely love it! Great work, I go back and listen to your albums constantly! The Byrds were obviously influenced by you guys, I hear a lot of their chords progressions and arpeggios in your first 3 records.

Hello Mike;
A tremendous fan for fifty years. My original LP's were the Beatles and the Searchers. Love and miss the music of those glorious days. Hope you find time to visit the States in the near future.
Best of wishes!

Heard the news yesterday about Bill Adamson. His spirit has left this earth though his body still lies somewhere in France. I well remember Bill joining the Band at the end of the '60s taking over from Johnny Blunt. He was still there when I left to form MPS in 1985.

Bill was an excellent drummer and was coveted by many bands even after joining us. We were never really close and as with Frank and John it was a friendly/business relationship which is not surprising seeing as we lived 200 miles apart.

Bill is now the fifth person with Searcher connections to leave this wonderful world, the others being Johnny Sandon and Tony West from the early pre-Searchers' days and of course, the two original and unforgettable 'Golden Searchers', Tony Jackson and Chris Curtis.

Goodbye Bill, you were a great drummer.

Mike Pender.
