The BGS Rock Family Tree (with apologies to Pete Frame)
It all came about after a chance remark by Hugh Mett. A few BGS old boys had been discussing the various bands that emerged from the Class of 69, and the permutations and cross pollinations that inevitably occurred. After consultation with some of these musicians, a number of whom still perform in public, the BGS Rock Family Tree came together. As more detail came in, and some excellent photos, the stories behind the branches of the tree were compiled.

| Where are they now? | Can you fill in any of the gaps? |
