Quantum) – <\/b>told us –
“They were managed by Mick Cubbon from Binley Woods (Mick moved to the US and is married to a singer called Gina Noelle (Google it for more info). He\u2019s a very good producer and has a home PC-based studio.). They made a self-funded vinyl LP but I don\u2019t have a copy \u2013 they were a very talented lot. I saw them often \u2013 notably at The Navigation on Stoney Stanton Rd. Numbers such as \u2018Tally Man\u2019 \u2013 Jeff Beck and \u2018Gin House\u2019 \u2013 Amen Corner spring to mind.”<\/p>\n

Trev Teasdel recalls<\/b> –
“Jessica’s Theme played the Coventry Arts Umbrella Club, 18, Queen Victoria Road on Friday January 8th and Friday 19th February 1971 between 10pm and 2am on for the Friday night band nights. I booked them. Jan Gage and Jan Coombs made and photocopied some small leaflets to hand out around town and the gigs were advertised in the Umbrella Newsletters and in the small ads of the Coventry Evening Telegraph.”<\/p>\n
