Anybody know anything about "The Esquires" from the 60's. The bassists name was Durby Wheeler and they have a CD out but cannot find ANY information on them or location. :shrug:

I think there were probably countless 60s bands with this name. If you mean the surf band from SoCal (Flashin' Red), I think I remember them from Bob Dalley's Surfin' Guitars book. That Durby Wheeler name rings a bell. That's probably the most information you'll find other than the liner notes of the cd. —http://www.satanspilgrims.com Last edited: Feb 20, 2008 11:29:33 |

THAT would be the band, "Flashin' Red" is theirs I know only because Durby is credited. True there were countless bands named the Esquires (and still are) so hopefully this narrows it down. They were 4 (?) white kids playing Fender equipment . Dennis - thanks but that's not them. thanks, t — |

The were at least 2 Esquires in Canada in the 1960's: one from out west, and one from Ottawa. I've got to hang out with the drummer from Ottawa. Richard Patterson is his name, and he's a great player and super nice guy! Rev —Canadian Surf |

Yep, Bruce was an Esquire. Hard to imagine him playing Shadows-style instros (though he is a mind melting guitar player). I think he was part of the group near the end, then went on to form Three's a Crowd with the Esquires drummer, and then on to his solo career. The guy who wrote the Esquires hit (Man From Adano) wrote a tune for our new CD (Renegade), and is going to be a featured guest at our Guitar Fest 4 in May. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gWPjzC7qqU Rev —Canadian Surf |

I heard an incredible version of "Squad Car" last night by the Esquires. Has anyone else heard this version? —MooreLoud.com - A tribute to Dick Dale. |
