Knower was definitely senior to Darup & Chris was one junior(chris was one year senior to us).<br /><br />Kumar Navaratnam,is also an old Thomian (someone correct me if am wrong) & is known as the FATHER of HARD ROCK in SL. Cannot remember as the number of rock concerts he did at Havelock Park but,I definitely went for one if not two - maybe in '75 or '76.the other old Thomians who were famous Rock Musicians in Sl were, SURIYAKUMAR WEERASINHAM the organist, originally with Kumar N & GARVEYARD & played for a long time with many bands & ROMESH WICKRAMARATNE or WEERARATNE who was a Folk/folk Rock singer. This guy was still in college when we were in the middle school. he had very long hair (after A'Ls) & was a brilliant student too! he migrated to Germany & i believe, still in to music.
