YoungWillz 21,026 Posted March 8, 2020 Before Phil Fearon became Galaxy, he was in a band called Kandidate, a band who had a few minor hits and one top twenty in the late 1970s. A band I might add who don't appear to have a Wiki page! Anyhow, the drummer for that band was Lloyd Phillips, who has died according to this announcement from his brother Paul (member of Hi Tension): Also an accomplished producer and songwriter. Was involved in mixing on Sinead O'Connor's The Lion And The Cobra. UK #11 April/May 1979 I Don't Wanna Lose You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdQ7cDYvliA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
