4 Laughing Gnome<br />

Principal sources, in addition to those detailed for<br />

the previous chapter, are Ken Pitt, Hugh Mendl, Mike<br />

Vernon, Tony Hall, Derek ‘Dek’ Fearnley, John<br />

‘Hutch’ Hutchinson, Alan Mair, Tom Parker and Neil<br />

Slaven. Most dates quoted come <strong>from</strong> Ken Pitt’s<br />

paperwork and Decca records. Special thanks to<br />

The Riot Squad, one of the most mysterious bands<br />

ever to play behind David; I was treated to an<br />

impromptu Squad reunion with Bob Flag, George<br />

Butcher and Del Roll in an Essex pub, which gave<br />

me a wonderful insight into those carefree, zany<br />

days. Thanks to Paolo Hewitt, Jeff Dexter and<br />

Graham Marsh for sharing their thoughts on Mod,<br />

and Marcus Gray for sharing his insights into the<br />

Deram/Essex connection, and also pointing out the<br />

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley references in ‘Please<br />

Mr. Gravedigger’.
