Dyan Birch

Arrival was formed when Dyan, Frank and Paddie got together in Liverpool in the mid-sixties and headed for London, hooking up with Tony. Dyan sang lead vocals on Arrival’s two big hits in 1970, I Will Survive and Friends.

Frustrated by the record company encouraging them towards a pop-oriented sound, Arrival’s members formed the nucleus of Kokomo.

In the various breaks in Kokomo’s career, Dyan has worked as a session and backing singer, often along with Frank and Paddie.

Sadly, Dyan has not been well enough to perform in the recent gigs.
