MIKE d’ABO was the only one man who could fill Paul Jones' shoes as front man for Manfred Mann. Already attracting attention with his group, A Band Of Angels, Mike was thrust into a wider limelight with the Manfreds and the well-oiled hit machine kept rolling on. Just Like A Woman, Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James and Mighty Quinn were just three of the string of hits with the 'new boy' in the line-up.
Steve Ellis In 1967 Love Affair moved to CBS records and Steve’s life was about to change forever. With the move brought the band to the forefront of the UK music scene with their first single the evergreen No: 1 hit Everlasting Love. At the time of it’s release Steve was only 17 years old. This was quickly followed by a succession of equally popular hit’s Rainbow Valley, Bringing On Back The Good Times, and A Day Without Love.
Formed in 1966, Vanity Fare are famously known for hits such as I Live For The Sun, Early In The Morning and Hitchin A Ride, which scored the band a number one on the Billboard 100 in the USA. The harmonies of Vanity Fare are renowned throughout the 60s scene which makes them one of the best vocal groups still touring today.
