What band won a Brit Award for British Breakthough and was Billy Bibby a founding member of?
Billy Bibby &amp; The Wry Smiles Billy Bibby & The Wry Smiles are a British indie rock band formed in the autumn of 2015 in the area around Llandudno, North Wales and Chester, UK. The band is fronted by Billy Bibby, former lead guitarist and founding member of Catfish and the Bottlemen. Bibby parted ways with Catfish and the Bottlemen in the summer of 2014, shortly after co-writing and recording their Platinum selling debut album, "The Balcony". Soon thereafter, Billy Bibby began writing songs and playing acoustic shows in various UK cities in order to test public response to his new music. In the spring of 2015, Billy Bibby began seeking musicians to form a new band. Auditions were conducted with the help of Simon Jones, formerly of The Verve. Band members Rob Jones (lead guitar), Matt Bassy (bass), and Michael Pearce (drums) were selected to form the four-piece ensemble.
Roxy Music Roxy Music were an English rock band formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the band's lead vocalist and chief songwriter, and bassist Graham Simpson. Alongside Ferry, the other longtime members were Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion), and other former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), Eddie Jobson (synthesiser and violin), and John Gustafson (bass). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1976 and again in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and toured together intermittently between that time and their break-up in 2011. Ferry frequently enlisted members of Roxy Music as session musicians for his solo releases.
