Hi Panfan, having reread what I'd written I see I've made a mistake as regards when Gill left Legs.  Therefore, I have copied a posting from the OFTD blog sent in by Susie (also know by us lot over there as the 'oracle') who is much more knowledgeable than the rest of us on the girls post-TOTP.

"When Pauline left, Anita was drafted in and [after the end of their run on TOTP] they could travel further afield touring instead of one nighters such as to Germany, Cairo ,Dubai,Abu Dhabi and Bahrain, often entertaining the British ex pats . Rosie had actually left at the end of TOTP so did not tour with them as she moved on to join Guys and Dolls working in Germany. Gill was next to leave after their first trip to Cairo...I believe to get married.  Anita was next to leave joining Toto Coella (singing group). That was when Patricia McSherry, Sandra Easby and Liz Greene signed on. The group continued but by then Lulu, Patti and Sue were running the group themselves as they had parted company with both Ruth and Flick.  Approx, 6months or so later Sandra and Liz left and one last final change to the line up was made. Tanya Lee was recruited and the group remained as a 5 piece....they continued with the cabaret shows abroard and did the Video Entertainers on Granada which I believe was their last tv appearance until Jeff Simpson from the BBC reunited the original 6 members to appear in TOTPs True Story programme."

The girls appeared on the Granada TV show "The Video Entertainers" on 27/07/82 when they did a couple of dances to "Jailbait" and "Viva Las Vegas".  Mediocre copies of both are in private collections, although I've no idea if Granada still have them in their archive.  By this date the line up comprised Lulu, Patti, Sue, Patricia and Tanya.  Exactly when they disbanded is maybe a question for either Lulu or Susan but we think it was around 83/84.

Having rewatched it last night, it does look like the Ladybirds were seprate from other singers.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for adding those details, always nice to learn more about my favourite Pans People members.
