The Myaks
Wythenshawe

Line-up  
   
Jeff Shelmadine vocals
Brian Baxter guitar
Dave Leech guitar
Mick Chewin drums
Dave Grimshawe bass

Formed about 1963/64 - a great R and B band.

Sadly Dave Grimshawe died a long time ago of a drug overdose. They continued, Bry Baxter went on bass and played as a 4 piece.

 

A Guy called Fred Leach joined the Myaks as singer around 1964 ... just prior to the passing away of Dave Grimshawe.

Fred later joined the Odd Ones as a vocalist and in a turn around the drummer from Odd Ones joined the Myaks....they lasted until around 1967...then all went their seperate ways.

I recall seeing a couple sat together on a bus from Manchester to Wythenshawe probably 1964/65, the male had longer hair than the girl. the girl had a small case on her lap with the words; THE MYAKS.

Shortly afterwards I saw the band at St Bernadettes in Withington, they wowed the place, a superb memory.
