I knew Ian through my Dad, Les Cooke, He’s the vocalist stating in front of Ian on the kit is the shot I uploaded) he an Ian worked together in a number of musical sets ups when I was quite young..Ian I recall was the younger member of the group, so had a certain vibe about him. I recall meeting him on a few occasions with my dad, when out and about one day with my dad we bumped into Ian, from memory he was driving some form of sports car? Which in Dublin in the late sixties was pretty flash, to me back then, Ian had a sort of James Bond, Simon Templar sort of thing going on, just as he and dad stopped the chat Ian popped over to the car and gave me a pair of drumsticks..I have met on a number of occasions as a adult around the town..( Jane also has she reminded me) always time for a chat , a genuine enquiry for the family, a fond reminiscence of dad..nice to meet people who taught highly of your dad. Anyway then sticks where a prized possession for quite a time, so thanks for the sticks Ian..Take Care.
