Meryl Barrett recalls "they played the 'Colly' - Colosseum night club in Coventry and one of the members was called Kev."

Leigh Malin says "not sure of some of the surnames, but we did the Colly (tic toc possibly at the time), Mr g's, dog & trumpet, the Holyhead, the Belgrade & loads of other venues around the city. We ended up doing a lot on the buttons circuit until the band fizzled out. I have some info on other bands i have worked with if you are interested, such as "brians band", which went on to become "the medicine shack", "the relatives", "n.v" & some others i could probably shed some light on!"
