1966: At Walsall Town Hall six bands gave their services free to help raise money for the Aberfan disaster fund. They were: The Boll Weevills(Birmingham), Spartans(Wednesbury), Love's Lot (Wolverhampton), Herbies People ( Bilston), N'Dex (Wolverhampton/Bilston) and Bossmen (Walsall). Each group had a half hour spot and to keep the place swinging non-stop just two sets of equipment were used. £150 was raised
