KOKOMO and ARRIVAL Dyan Birch, Paddy McHugh, Frank Collins.

Tony's friends and musical colleagues from Arrival and Kokomo, Dyan Birch, Paddy McHugh, and Frank Collins, lay-down backing vocals on a track for the upcoming album from Gary Fletcher. The album, produced by Bill Gautier, Pick Withers and Gary himself, is being recorded at Bill Gautier's studio in West London.

Frank, Dyan and Paddy began life in Liverpool, were 'discovered,' moved to London, and founded Arrival.
Arrival recorded Terry Reid's 'Friends' that became a UK and world hit for the group. This was followed by the hit 'I Will Survive,' written by Frank himself.

They have worked for, amongst many others, Ian Dury, Marc Bolan, Alvin Lee, Marianne Faithfull, Bryan Ferry, Terrence Trent D'Arby, Gloria Gaynor, Alison Moyet, B.B. King, and Bob Dylan.
