Kelly’s Heroes 1995

Tony Dugan was an original member and the early group found their feet in such places as The Britannia Inn Huntingdon Street, the Irish Centre Wilford Street, the Old Vic and the Albion Inn.

Dave Guy was another early member.

Steve Hall, Billy Patton and Gary Robson were around in the late 80’s early 90’s.

Anybody give me the early history please….

Other Nottingham groups in a similar vein were Wholesome Fish, Seven Little Sisters and Da Dogs.
