Kenny has a great voice and surely should have been destined for something bigger. Saw his band play local places like The Royal Oak, The Claude and Old Iltydians quite a few times when I lived in Sunny Splott. I've seen a thousand and one bands cover Free's 'All Right Now', Kenny always nailed it perfectly, unlike so many vocalists I've seen trying to imitate Paul Rodgers.:thumbup:

Had they emerged on the rock scene around 1973/74 things could have been so much different for them.

I always thought that they had a good chance of making it and The Bells of Berlin still gives me goose pimples.
After spending time in Canada, I can't believe they didn't get it together to go to the US. They could have been huge.
[QUOTE=Taunton Blue Genie;4625483]Tony Smith fronts a local covers band called The Daggers, I was watching them in the claude a few years ago and Kenny Driscoll popped in, obviously they did a song together which, I captured.Quote:
