Stourbridge
John Jauncey bass guitar
Wyn Jones lead guitar
Dave Lacey vocal
Dave Little drums
Roy Pinson rhythm guitar
This group from Stourbridge had two tracks included on a rare compilation album entitled “Brum Beat” that was put out by Decca Records in 1964. They had previously won a beat group contest sponsored by the Birmingham Evening Despatch. The group also had a single released on Phillips Records in 1965. Dave Lacey and The Corvettes should not be confused with another group called The Corvettes from Birmingham who were on a different compilation LP called “Brum Beat” that was released by the Dial Records label in 1964.

Hello Winston, Remember Me? You were stuck for a drummer, must have been the early 1980’s. I stood in a couple of times. I’m almost sure your drummer was a football ref and he couldn’t make it then. The first of the two was at Stourport British Legion. I think you were playing a Guild and there was another guitarist called Richard, I think with a Strat. Dave was playing bass and singing.You played loads of stuff I was familiar with and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m from Kidderminster.
Hi wyn aka JANGO
Hope you are keeping well
As you say good days up the PLAZAs
Met lots of stars and we had a go at stardom when we recorded our record
When we went down to PHILLIPS AND FONTANA we thought we had made it
Like to hear from you best wishes

My dad was a roadie for Dave lacy and the corvettes back in the sixties (John Head). It is coming up to his 50th wedding anniversary in August. A card or some correspondence would be greatly appreciated, he often still remanises of you all.
Hello Dave
Just googled Dave Lacey and came across your post. The reason for sending this to you is that I knew your dad well and my parents were very friendly with his parents. John and I both played water polo for Stourbridge. You have my e-mail address if you or he want to get in touch but I leave it up to you
I was a keen fan of Dave Lacey and the Corvettes back in their early days..Is Dave still singing .The BUddies. Would like to meet up John Gregory
I was a keen fan of the boys many years ago.IsDave still singing . Would like to look up if possible.If not kind regards
sadly it’s a good many years since I enjoyed seeing Dave and the band sadly my own health has not been too good so my days of going to see bands like the buddies are long gone but I hope that you keep trying to entertain people
Hello everyone,
