THE MIGHTY GUYS



Former drummer for Dig Richards and Johnny O'Keefe, Leon Isackson founded The Mighty Guys in the early 1980's with Mick Hamilton (ex-Moods, The Vibrants) on guitar and Phil Eizenberg (ex -The Ferrets) on bass. The Mighty Guys rapidly gained a reputation and following for their eclectic repertoire and stripped back sound. Glenn A. Baker spotted their potential and their single ''Be Cool, Be Smart'', written by Leon, saw them make the charts and appear on Countdown. Their album, 'Rockin' All Thru The Night' sold over 40,000 copies and the band received a cult following from authentic rock 'n' roll enthusiasts. Two more albums followed on Rivet label: 'Be Cool Be Smart' and 'The Rest of the Mighty Guys'. The band has been through various incarnations since it formed and has had some notable musicians pass through its ranks.
