Monitors

The Monitors were British power pop band of four lads from Roan School in Blackheath, London, consisting of:
*Lee Wellbrook (Guitar, Vocals)
*Chris Kitchen (Guitar, Lead Vocals)
*Nick Bidgood (Bass)

They rehearsed at Greenwich Baths and recorded one single (Telegram / Compulsory Fun). Kitchin and Wellbrook released one other single ('Patrick') as 'Big Table' in 1981. Wellbrook and Bidgood still perform live and record as The Missouri Gutts; a three piece, acoustic, Americana, folk-rock band from North-West Kent.
