Chapter II : The Line Ups

At this juncture I feel I should introduce the band formally, as I have previously been speaking of them in collective terms. Also to give a brief insight into the bands history prior to the formation of the final line up. Alan and Terry Jones (obviously related) lead guitar and vocals respectively and founder members of Pagan Altar circa 1978/79. Trevor Portch, Bass, who having seen them play at the 2001 club in Erith in 1981 came up and spoke to them afterwards, (I should mention that Trev was dressed as Angus young at the time!). He answered their ad in 82 and stayed to the bitter end. John Mizrahi, Drums, who after having had a finger blown off in action in Israel decided it wasn’t for him and joined Pagan Altar instead! (You can make your own mind up whether he made the right choice!). Alan came from Brockley, South East London from where the band was based, Trevor hails from Slade Green, Erith in Kent, Terry originated from Rotherhithe, Bermondsey in South East London and John from a bomb crater with an unpronounceable name somewhere in Israel.
