Villalba and Gimenez weren’t part of anything dodgy. I really want to see more of Villalba.

My pal tagged me on something on the Facebook saying put Songs of Praise on, curious, I did, and lo and behold Ricky Otto is on there at the ground talking Blues, his troubled past and his new life as a pastor.

Whilst we've time to delve back on things, I remember around the turn of the 80's going down Digbeth - possibly to the Railway Inn (??) - to see and enjoy band called the First Band a few times. Think they supported Steve Gibbons there once. Had a really tasty guitarist.
Anyone else remember them...and whatever happened to?
