Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle of the Who went to my school as did Ian Gillan. All gone before I started though. Who went to yours?

Tom Robinson, many years before I was there. He did come back and do a talk and gig when we were in the sixth form though.

Marcus Vere from Living In A Box is the only one I know of. Mine was more of a sports school than music though.
