MIRRORS

---

Mirrors was a band fronted by Boz Burrell formed in early 1967:

After some lineup changes, this was one of their lineups:

MIRRORS #?			Feb 67-Nov 70
Boz Burrell † vocals	Jack Mills guitar	Stanley White bass	Nick Judd keyboards	Terry Stannard drums

Jimmy Scott sat with the band sometimes, playing percussion and singing.

The band split in November 1970 (or was in late 1969?).

---

B B BLUNDER

---

In the summer of 1971, when the band B B Blunder decided playing their first gig, they enlisted Reggie King as lead vocalist and Nick Judd on keyboards:

B B BLUNDER #2			1971
Reg King † vocals	Brian Godding guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Nick Judd keyboards	Kevin Westlake † drums

But after just one gig, Kevin Westlake left.

Chris Hunt joined as new drummer for B B Blunder:

B B BLUNDER #3			1971
Reg King † vocals	Brian Godding guitar	Brian Belshaw bass	Nick Judd keyboards	Chris Hunt drums

And I think there were more different lineups (with Alan Bam King on guitar and maybe Graham Smith on drums), but can´t find that info. Nicko McBrain also played in the latter days of the band. Help, please!
