I Remember the Shyms very well, excellent group.
Dennis Berry was in the same class as me at Tommy Moore and when married lived in Shevington along with myself.
Don't know what happened to the original members but when I saw them in the 1980''s the line up had changed. Aubrey Taylor and John Watkinson being two of the group.
