Leigh Malin<\/b> 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!”<\/span><\/div>\n
