Gimik were a 6 member band of kids who included in its ranks a very young Jon Kenny yes the same comedian.The band include the 3 O Sullivan brothers.They released 3 singles back in 77/79 and all are collectable.Note the spelling of the group GIMIK and their record label was called MIK.They had 2 releases on their own label but their first single was on the Release label back in 77.Should anyone have any of these let me know. :o :o :o
