Acropolis (Ashford)

Hits: 1154

Acropolis 1966 to 1969 (Ashford )

Line-up included

  • Colin Knowles - guitar
  • James Bishop - drums
  • Arthur Crouch - bass 
  • Ian Clark - organ

Acropolis the band carried on through the 70s and may have been further in to the 80s as a professional unit touring Germany and South Africa and the UK possibly other Countries as well but I'm not to sure on that as I left the band in mid 69 when they were just about to turn professional and leave for Germany

I was replaced by Alan Cotton on bass and Angela Allen joined then on vocals.

Later in the life of the band Mark Sherwood joined them on guitar and also along the line John Mathews joined then on guitar and vocals.

John Mathews and Angela Allen went on to get married and formed a duo simply called John and Angela Mathews and have had many successful years in the entertainment business only retiring from full time entertainment last year 2024.
