I'm looking for any information on this group who had three singles
released on the Columbia label. I believe they were from the Grimsby
area.

If anyone had any information and even a "Where are they now" answer, be
grateful to hear from you

The Boyfriends, I think, consisted of "Dusty" Rhodes (who subsequently
became a councillor for a ward in Grimsby), Tony (?) Farrow, both on guitar,
and, on drums, Paul McGrath (later a lecturer at Grimsby College). I only
have a passing knowledge of the group as I was, at the time, heavily
involved with the South Bank Jazz Club.

That's correct yes - Dusty Rhodes

Was one of my old teachers at Havelock School

I believe he passed away ?

More info now at hand. I can confirmn that Dusty Rhodes died a few years
ago. Sandra Browne is still living locally but Paul McGrath is now living in
Devon. Tony Farrow still lives and works (as a boat-builder) in Grimsby and
I have given him your website and email addresses and he should be in touch
with you when he gets his PC sorted out.
