I bet some of the biggest selling singles in plenty of 70s years don't make for pretty reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2021 And whilst were on Legends from the Midlands, I give you Lawrence in his serious ephemeral phase as Felt (here featuring Elizabeth Fraser of the Cotdeath twins) Felt at this time also include Martin Duffy later of Primal Scream And in a roundabout way there used to be a story told amongst the youth way back then that the first thre punks in Brum were Robert Lloyd, Lawrence and Boy George. Robert Lloyd confirmed on Twitter just before Xmas that this indeed is a load of bollocks but hey ho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
