FRANK YONCO

[Donny Johnston]

Does anyone know if Frank is still alive? I toured with him in the late spring of 1979 and I think it was the summer of 1980. I found him to be a consumate professional, on the road he paid all the expenses, all you had to do was your job, certainly took the pressure off. Thank you, Donny.

I dont know the answer Donny but I did a few with the Everglades and really enjoyed it.

Frank is still alive, living in Bristol last I heard.
I was an Everglade for 18 months, lived at his club in St Blazy, interesting days.

[Donny Johnston]

Thanks for that Dave, would you happen to have any contact details for him. Stay safe, Donny.

[Dave Nutt]

Hi Donny, sorry I dont, I have a mutual friend who may have but having a job contacting him, he’s in New Zealand.
If I come across anything I’ll let you know.
Hope you and all are staying safe in these difficult times.
Dave.

[Donny Johnston]

Thanks Dave. Donny.

I've been in touch with my mate - steeler Paddy Long from New Zealand. Paddy is going to put the word out on the music scene to find if Frank is active over there in any way. I'll let you know if there is any news Donny. Yonco was very popular in the south west of England in the 70's.

Thanks Ken. Donny.
