  1. HI Brian Currin, song number 26?? Is this the D-Fenders, the very D-fenders? MY mum sang with this band, don’t know for how long, but I have a pic of her sitting on the drums, with the band in the background! I am so hoping that this is the very band my mum use to sing in as I have never heard her sing and would so love to. My mom is now passed, God rest her soul, may she rest in peace. I am hoping you could perhaps shed some light on this for me.

    Regards
    Fernando

  2. Ronnie Joyce released a song “Lost in Love ” with a group.I forget the groups name nor can I get hold of the song or lyrics. Can anyone assist?
