Michael Corby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mike Corby (born Michael John Siddons-Corby July 3, 1951 in Windsor, England) was a guitarist and keyboard player with The Babys. He left the group during the recording of their third album "Head First" and according to lead singer John Waite in a 2005 interview on Brisbane radio station 4KQ Corby departed from the music scene altogether.

Corby's version of events with reliable documentation is very different. He was called to a meeting with management in mid 1978 and was asked to leave the band which he had formed with the late Adrian Millar. This information has been preserved by Corby and is detailed on the website entitled The Babys Official Unofficial Archives and Chronological History.

It appears that Corby was publicly silent for years about his role in forming The Babys and little was done to mention him publicly as the driving force behind the group's initial success.

Through the website, his retention of valuable documents and photos, and his MySpace page, Corby has done much to inform the public about the origin of the 70s and early 80s rock group the Babys.

The Babys official MySpace page contains film clips of original performances of the band during their early success.
