<br>kybosh is pointing to all indications that he may very well be one of the members of Dekka Danse. I really hope so [:)]

What member do you think i am ??.

the Band Kybosh is a local band from Aberdeen.


[/quote]

I just assumed you may have been a member of Dekka Danse because you said you know the guys and have crossed paths with them.

Yes...A member of Dekka Danse is now playing with Kybosh - from Aberdeen Scotland.

What's my name and what instrument did I play?

I think you're Jon Smith. You played the keyboards. I can be wrong though but Dekka Danse is one of my all time 80's bands. I can't be wrong about that one. [:D]

They're looking for a keyboard player so that rules him out. However, two of the band members are named John and Eric, so I would say it's Eric Grant on the bass.

I am now inextricably drawn into this pursuit for truth and recognition! I am a former DekkaDanse survivor - but which one!
For info - we were signed to CBS records by A&R Director Muff Winwood (yes Stevie's brother). Also present at the time was fomer President of CBS Maurice Oberstein (and his red setter dog). We were managed by Checkmount Management (now which other famous 80s act did they manage?). Dekkadanse morphed into a band called the Watchmen (Chuck Sabo replacing Dave Scott as drummer).They did some nice stuff with Damien Korner (yes Alexis's son) as Engineer. Exhausted ... the lights is fading again......

Apologies for appearing to be on the cynical side over this, but if you are whom you say you are, what is your middle name?

John and Eric, I am thrilled that you guys made it to this forum. It would be great if you can tell us a little bit as to what happened after Waltz in the Wilderness and why such a brilliant record was sadly ignored. Also is there a chance of a CD issue, Waltz in the Wilderness and Singles? Lastly, Why did Drowning by the Hour did not make it to the LP?

I would also like to hear The Watchmen demos if they are available. Nice to see you on here too John. [:D]

I never thought in a million years you guys would surface after a long time of searching the web to find your whereabouts today. So glad you two have come out of hiding!

All we need is Allan and Dave and this party will be complete.

I have lost touch with Eric, "kybosh" if you are still out there, I wanted to ask you if you made any music videos for Dekka Danse. Thank you
