Jan. 01, 1969 - MEMBER OF FOUNDATIONS POP-GROUP WEDS. HIS PET PYTHON AT WEDDING. TONY GOMEZ, 20-year old Ceylonese-born organist with the Foundations pop-group, today married 19-year old YVONNE SHAW, at Kensington Registry Office. Tony met Yvonne, who comes from Plymouth, when the Foundations were playing at a club in the town 15 months ago. The couple were to have been married on Yvonne's 20th. birthday on February 28th, but had to change the day because it is the only date the Foundations are not working in the next three months. In fact, on February 28th, the Foundations whose latest hit record Build Me Up Buttercup is currently at No.2 in Britain and racing up the charts throughout the world with sales nearing a million, leave for their second tour of America. This tour, lasting one month will earn the group £100, 000. Tony decided that his wedding would not be missed by his unusual pet - a 5ft python called Julias. I always take him with me wherever I go when I'm not working. Otherwise Yvonne looks after him but with us both out he'll have to come with us, Anyway, he's my mascot!
