This second compilation continues the musical journey of seven Plymouth
musicians, who have regularly collaborated to compose, record and perform
contemporary music for over four decades. Many of the bands featured here were
local heroes in their day with loyal fans who packed city venues whenever they
performed. Some of the bands that were formed gained recognition from the music
industry and were awarded recording contracts which enabled them to
professionally experience a rock 'n' roll lifestyle and rub shoulders with and
support major artists of the day.

These musicians have entertained audiences for four decades, and still write
original material, which has yet to be recorded. Not manufactured overnight,
this sustained output from a dedicated group of musicians who have learned that
music is its own reward has carved a permanent niche in Plymouth's musical
heritage.
