I remember Bob Scales from the time he was lead and I was rhythm guitar with the Paiges (1962??). He had a Gibson Les Paul and was excellent. I still remember his "Sheikingtons" as he called it - The Sheik of Araby. 

Played with the Paiges with Johnny Martin and with Dave Prentice as the lead singers, Johnny left with Bernard Dunne to join Brian Mathews. I stayed on to keep the Paiges going with John Hutchinson on drums Terry Shaw on lead my self on bass and Mike Lydiat on rhythm and Dave Prentice as front man Mike left to go to uni thats when Pete Buckley joined.

I played rhythm guitar with the Paige’s in the 1960’s with Terry Shaw(lead), John Hutchinson(drums), Dave Prentice(vocals), Fred Power (bass). Fantastic experience with 4 great guys playing Manchester clubs.
