TOBY JUG


Toby Jug or Toby Jugg was a short-lived band formed in Sydney by former members of Clapham Junction that had recently disbanded. Jim Willebrant (vocals), Dave Mills (drums) and Bill Mahoney (vocals) added Charlie Wright on organ (ex-Wheelbarrow), John Foley on lead guitar and Warren Barlow on bass. Toby Jug released its 1970 debut single on the Du Monde label with a cover of Amen Corner's ''If Paradise Was Half As Nice''. It reached the Sydney Top 40. The follow up single ''(Waiting For The) Train To Nowhere / Mr. Kokomo Schmoe'' was released in 1971. This single went nowhere, and they disbanded. Dave Mills has since died and Denis Loughlin died in 2019 of cancer.
