Way back in 1992, I had a major opperation to remove a brain tumor, during my recovery I had to have eeg tests. The eeg technition was none other than Megan Davis, base player with the Applejacks. We had a good chat about the pop scene, she was still doing gig's at that time.  Also, my wifes father was good friends with the Applejacks manager.

What about BANDY LEGS, used to play in a night club at the Swan Yardley.
They played a lot of MUD's music better than MUD did.

The Bobcats from Shard End still going I think.

The Idle Race were a British rock group from Birmingham in the late 1960s and early 1970s who had a cult following but never enjoyed mass commercial success. I seen this group play at All Saints Church Shard End.

I see at long last Jeff Lynn is to be given a STAR on Brums walk of fame . One  off the very best pop groups ever from Brum ELO, Shard End lad made good,

[townie]

He was on BBC Midlands TV news this dinnertime and Shard End got a mention; he'll probably be on there again this evening.

Jeff Lynn has been beavering around in the music world ever since the 60s. In my opinion ELO was the greatest , along with Queen & Dire Straights .

[townie]

Ray I agree with you except one thing ELO. Queen yes top league Although Dire Straits were very good I don't think they were in the same league
