Where Are They Now?
The Story (much more to come)
In 1972, an article in Spotlight
announced the College Boys had morphed into a band called Truth. The
lineup included Kenny McDowell (vocals - Them), Jim Armstrong
(guitar - Them), Wills McKinney (bass - College Boys), Ronnie Parks
(keyboards/sax - College Boys), Alan Hunter (sax - Hello), and
Berttie McDonald (drums). In December, 1972, a blurb in
Spotlight stated there was still confusion about the band as many
venues were still billing Truth as The College Boys.
In February, 1973, Spotlight
column, The North, announced The College Boys were planning a fresh
start. The name the Truth, which the band used as they moved
towards a heavier style was dropped and they were under a new
manager, Cecil Thompson, who was also looking after
Sunshine and Colm and the Sundowners at
the time.
