The Cortinas released one single in 1968 on Polydor Records called "Phoebe's Flower Shop"[1] and were renamed Octopus the same year.
According to the Nottingham Post, "There was a point – when Octopus cut a single and album – when it looked like fame would be theirs ... but it didn't happen.
Guys 'n' Dolls spent their last years in the Netherlands and during that time Griggs released two solo singles, the first a medley of Shadows instrumentals under the title of "Guitar Collection" for EMI Holland.
After the group disbanded in 1985 Griggs assumed responsibility for Everyday Music Ltd in England, and concentrated on writing and producing.
Griggs has also released a solo CD on his own Fenman label called My Songs (Fen 001CD), on which he played and composed every track.
