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.

A face from my past, too. Wyndham had a car workshop in Cwmbwrla which I used to have a new shock fitted to my old Beetle. The mechanic fitted it upside down. Wyndham told him that "He had more bollocks than brain cells", before correcting the job himself!
