Bongo Fury

Was that the one with the column change that used to tie the linkage in knots?

Horrible gear change .. three forward gears .. and reverse if you was lucky enough to find it ..!!

PS - sounds like there could be some really good musicians or ex musicians on here. What would be the chances of getting a Bongo Band together for one, and one only gig?

Ah yes, the old 30cwt long wheelbase Transit fitted with aircraft seats. Happy memories....of sorts ha ha.[/quote]

30cwt Tranny and airplane seats?? Luxury, mate. My first pro band (no names) had a 15cwt Commer. I slept in pig netting hung from the roof by butcher's hooks.. (getting the violins out now, ha ha! ). At least we survived the music biz, unlike a lot of good friends

Well we did have Island Records behind us and we were touring the UK - we'd probably have died from carbon monoxide poisoning if we'd had to use a Commer van (if you could source a suitable one in 1977). The Lwb transit was standard stuff for touring bands back then. Ours was old and we paid £100 for it - it just about got us around the tour.
