Will Birch

Will Birch (born 12 September 1948) is an English music journalist, songwriter, record producer and drummer.

Featuring singer Paul Shuttleworth, the Flyers developed a strong live reputation on London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s, and released several albums.

Their biggest commercial success came in 1976 with the uncharacteristic Mike Batt-produced hit single "Little Does She Know", which Birch co-wrote.

They released the minor hit "Starry Eyes" in 1978, again co-written by Birch; toured the United States; and recorded three albums, before splitting up in 1982.

Meanwhile, Birch had already moved into production, working with the Liverpool-based band, Yachts, plus Billy Bremner of Rockpile, Desmond Dekker, The Long Ryders, and later Dr.
