WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Does anyone remember these local bands popular in the late 1970's?

Thank you for mentioning Cats Eyes Billy Ormsby. If you are interested you can read about Cats Eyes on:- www.brumbeat.net/catseyes.htm I was the drummer/vocalist. Tink Banks (bass guitar) now lives at Redditch, Dave Busby (lead guitar) lives at Alcester, sadly Fil Filby (rhythm guitar/lead vocalist) passed away last year. We only stopped playing about 3 years ago.
