David Millington is now retiring from propiertship of the "Well Guitar" Clinic in Colwyn Bay after 9 years helping guitarists find the best set up for their guitar and also building custom guitars for his clientelle. I introduced him to the web site hoping he will add to it for posterity. 

David - 20/5/12

I was a founder member of the Citrons , along with Dave Millington , Pete Copeland, and Dave Lund.

When Pete left the band to live in Wales we found John Murphy guitar and vocals, Pete Turner joined the band when Dave Lund left the band to do session work in London. Our first and only record we made was Jenny Jenny. I am now living in Lincoln still playing guitar and keyboards.

Ged Quinn - 4/1/14

I am Pete Turner’s son. He still talks about the band and the fond memories. On one of our holidays to Cornwall in the late 80s he stepped in for the drummer for a band that was playing in our hotel and he hadn’t played for about 20 years haha. They did Wipeout too!!! He pulled it off though! Brilliant. Wish I could’ve seen you play back in the day :)
