I've been watching the NashVille Teens on Pop Gear on my cable stations for over the last year and it's not getting old at all. I always make it a point to find out when it comes on again. I believe the BEST ROCK comes from across the Pond anyway. It's great to hear that the Teens still play. If the Stones can keep rockin', so can the Teens. Will the U.S. ever get a chance to rock with the Teens in the future?

We'd love to play the States Matt, but we haven't been over since 1964.  If you can get us a tour we'd be interested !

Hi.... we saw the teens last year at Vauxhall at Yarmouth, Thought they were great. Could you tell us if there was a member real name Lenny Butcher who lived in the Chigwell area in the late seventies, we think he run a boxing club.
Hi Julie - Yes - Lenny Butcher drummed for the band for a a time.  If you get in touch with him say that Ray sends his regards !

Re the rehearsal & bringing back some of the old material, I suggest 2 of my favorite Teens' tracks - TNT & Sun Dog. Peter in Taipei   Hi Pete - The teens still perform Sun Dog occasionally - Roger

Hi Glad to see the band still going strong, i was at one of your gigs in the early sixties not sure of the exact year, it was in a small church hall in south wimbledon, long time man. Kind Regards Kim Ballard

Your Films page doesn't list Pop Gear, which IMDB lists as a 1965 film - the Teens perform both Tobacco Road and Googler Eye in this movie. I'd like to know, if you can say, what is the Gibson hollow-body guitar with the pointy horns shown in Google Eye? I've never seen that type of guitar before.  Rick - have a look at the THEIR MUSIC section of the website.  You will see that POP GEAR is still available - it was subsequently re-released under the title GO GO MANIA.   No idea about the guitar - I will try to find out for you.

I always liked their songs. Here is a site where you can download the quicktime of the band playing "Tobacco Road". http://20-248-e.onlinestoragesolution.com/spikepriggen/public/Tobacco%20Road.mov

just a question - met a bar owner in Tenerife a couple of years back, think his name was Les Wilde or similar, reckoned he was in the Nashville Teens he was from Birmingham area can you confirm if this is right or wrong
Geoff <geoffbohannon@yahoo.co.uk>, Durham Sat May 6 19:57:21 2006  Sorry we don't recall Les Wilde - although we have used many "deps" over the last forty two years.  The band have always been based from Addlestone/Chertsey and most of our temporary players have come from that area.

Where do I go to check out concert dates? Will you be doing any dates in the USA?   We'd love to, last visit was 1964 !  Get us some gigs and we'll be right over.

Will the great John Hawken be playing with the Teens again when he comes back from the US to play with The Strawbs? If so, where? Cheers to Ray and the best real rock band ever from Taiwan.  John will be back in the UK in June for a Strawbs tour, but I don't know whether we will be able to get together with the Teens again on that occaission.  I'm sure it will happen again though - and if we can engineer it to be at Pete Webbers Pigsnose gig that will be an awesome nights entertainment !

Hello Spud and Ray (and Len. Long time no see! Well I have chatted to Spud in Bracknell a few times over the years. I nearly died when I read Spud's been in the band for 23 years, Christ I was going out with him when he joined! We were sooooooo young lol. I still chat about the times I went on the gigs with you all, remember when the old Transit van's engine caught on fire! Also one of my fondest memories was at the Radio ones birthday bash at the Hammersmith Odeon, then onto Legends night club poxy Lemmy from Motor head grabbed me n we all nearly had a fight! Also the parties at Maurine’s Starr’s house in London Loads of memories! Anyhow I went on to have 2 Wonderful Boys who are now both over 6ft1 and still only 13 and 15! I have finally found my soul mate in Alan and married for the second time in 2004. I hope you are all doing well. Had a laugh at Spuds broken leg!!!!!!!!! Take Care Big Hugs Gaye xxxxx

Hi! My name is Cass Greenwell. I'm 12 years old I come from Perth, Western Australia, but I'm currently living in Taipei - Taiwan. I did a project on you guys and some other 60's rock music bands,such as the Rolling Stones, Kinks, Yard Birds etc. That's when I really got introduced to your music and the music of the 60's - I think it's great. I can understand why my parents like this music soooo much! I really think Tobacco Road rocks. Seeya Cass
