Whatever Happened to .... Johnny the Fox...?

Do you remember them ?


Bit of a long shot , this one !

Waaay back in the mid - eighties me and my mates used to follow a young four peice rock band around , named Johnny the Fox . They played mainly there own stuff plus one or two covers . Think they were based around Preston area , and played around there and Southport , I think .

My memories really sketchy about them (and most other things...) I cant remember any of their names , or the songs . I used to have a cssette of their tunes , but it got lost .

Hopefully someone remembers them , I`d be fascinated to know what became of the band , or if they made any other recordings ect ..Ive tried googling them , but no joy .. hope you can enlighten me !!

Cheers , Col
