The Monarchs

A Memory of Methilhill.

I have happy memories of this area. In my youth I was the drummer in a pop group called the Monarchs and we played many gigs in the area, one of which was Windygates on a Sunday evening organised by a promoter called Tommy Cunningham and his mother. I remember a lovely lass called Kate McKay, later to become Mrs Bathgate I believe. The music scene was great then, (early sixties).
I have lived in South Africa for the last 32 years, but if anyone out there remembers the Monarchs, I would love to hear from you.
