I've always wondered what could of happened to Rod Jane & Freddy? Anyone know?Not heard that one before but if its true then perhaps Rod, Jane and Freddy ended up getting their twangers out and starring in some of John Leslie's "adult" films 8) FWIW I know that Geoffrey ended up as a manager for B&Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 FWIW I know that Geoffrey ended up as a manager for B&QI used to live next door to him, he was a right moody cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Seeing as we're onto tenuous Rainbow connections, I should probably mention that one of my friend's dad was a director on Rainbow and his mum used to write stories and read them out on the show. He has loads of Rainbow annuals at his house with stories by his mum in them.Oh, and he was in the Smokebusters advert on the telly circa 1988.

Bass Cadet Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I keep on getting muddled up between the childrens telly show and the band. Maybe Rod was Ritchie blackmore disguise! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
