Thanks Georgina. That’s really interesting. Many of the musicians of previous eras now in academia it seems, another example being Martha Ladly of Martha & the Muffins.

I’m acquainted with Sara-Jane Owens and I JUST found out tonight that she was a member of The Bodysnatchers and The Belle Stars. It was amazing to hear the she was at the forefront the rise of “Girl Bands”. So, tonight I began looking up things on-line about them and came across your blog.

Sara-Jane is now living in Pine Mountain Club, California.
She plays various percussion instruments with a Celtic music group up here (and I hear she has “picked up” the guitar again).

Was just watching Top of the Pops from 1983. They were on and I wondered what had happened to them. Very interesting reading, thanks for the info.
