I remember this band at the Marquee when I was underage and slipped in with my brother. They had a profound effect on me then and I became a musician because of them! I have had a successful career in music and now my son is in the same game, so they have a lot to answer for. Thanks for making this great web site and showing todays kids that we weren't always old farts.

Hi Bob Turner again should have mentioned last time, I was with Frank and the lads in the studio when they were recording Marrakesh bit of a laugh really the sounds of battle were made by us hitting music stands with metal rulers. Those were the days.

Great to find this page! Frank Bennett played with me (American musician living in Germany) in 1965 in Germany with "The Statesmen" for a few years, the group went on without me when I left in 1966. He went on to higher places, I'm still living and working in Germany,

All the best,
Ralph

As a 17 year old lad, I remember seeing Frank & the rest of the band do a few gigs at the Starlight Ballroom, Crawley. Like a lot of people at the time, i was in complete awe! They sounded great & were visually stunning in there fabulous stage outfits! Little did i know, that a few years later i would end up playing in a band with Frank! The man was my idol, he is a great pro & i will always be grateful for the times we played together.

Great to see my brother Frank on this site, We grew up surronded by music. My dad was a very good singer and Frank obviously inherited his talent. My teenage years was full of drums and guitars going in and out of the house where their always seemed to be a band practice. Great days and great memories. Frank's love of music has endured which is a great gift.
Thanks for putting this site together.

Hi all,
Radio Luxembourg 208 played "I can't go on loving you" and "Gotta go" and I was totally stunned when I heard
these songs around 1968 and 1969. I recorded them
on a reel to reel player and after searching for the
records I found them in different auction-sites 7-8 years
ago. This is timeless music and I will never get tired of
these songs. Thank you, Fortes Mentum!

The following message is a wind up from our barmy friend Dominic but it did make us laugh! My dear sister Lizzie told me about this site which brought back so many happy memories. I first saw Fortes Mentum on the front at Rhyl, it must have been 1968 and I've never been the same since! Oooooh, they don't make them like that any more. Our Lizzie came over all queer. I'll be 89 in March and would love to hear FM again, though I'm a bit deaf these days. Lovely they were. Fondest memories, Dol
