Pete Houghton…  I used to know a guy called Neil Janssens-Lakin and he used to talk about the group The Jaybirds and that he played in the band alongside Alvin Lee and Lee Lyons. I think he said he played keyboards with them. He said that they played in Germany quite a lot, so I have been trying to find out if this is true or not. Can anyone help?
