Beat Unlimited revisited


Beat Unlimited was Roger Taylor's first band.

Tonight I met up with Jenny Doble who lives in St Agnes. She has a photograph of Beat Unlimited that she would have been given, probably by Mike Dudley, in 1963/64. Jenny kindly let me copy it, but what is interesting is the fact that the three boys signed the back...

Jenny grew up in St Agnes and knew Mike from about the age of 7. She thinks she probably met Roger Taylor for the first time either at a Beat Unlimited gig or - wait for it - at ballroom dancing classes in Truro! She remembers Roger as being one of the smaller boys at the classes which meant that dancing with him was rather clumsy and awkward as she was much taller...

She is still in touch with the other member of Beat Unlimited: David Dowding and his wife.
Thanks Jenny...
