Wyndham Rees RIP ... 16:16 - Feb 26 with 935 views

Another local musician has left the stage - Wyndham from Neath was lead singer in The Mustangs. Eyes of Blue, Faded Glory etc.

Eyes of Blue went to the 1966 "Melody Maker Beat Contest" at the London Paladium - finishing 1st, with Amen Corner in 2nd place.
12 coaches of local fans followed them to the finals.

They won a 12 month recording contract with Decca, and £1000 of musical equipment.

They then toured with The Animals, Georgie Fame, Chris Farlowe, Geno Washington, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, etc, and opened for The Who.

RIP Wyndham. YJB.

👍 Swansea's first American style burger restaurant. He also took over the Grand Hotel in High Street - running very successful "Rock & Roll" nights - plus live music (groups) etc.
