Blue-eyed soul band 'Arrival' (Dyan Birch's second band) was formed in London in 1973 by a group of Liverpool vocalists and the remnants of several other British groups.

Arrival vocalists Dyan Birch, Paddie McHugh and Frank Collins, were joined by Tony O'Malley (keyboards), with Neil Hubbard (guitar) and Alan Spenner (bass) who had previously worked with Joe Cocker's Grease Band. All went on to form soul funk band Kokomo

The line-up for Kokomo was completed by further formidable musicians: Jim Mullen (guitar), Terry Stannard (drums), Jody Linscott (congas) and journeyman saxophonist Mel Collins.

A popular live attraction, Kokomo's acclaimed debut album suggested a future akin to that of the Average White Band.

However, the group failed to sustain its promise and quickly ran out of inspiration, possibly because of the conflict of so many strong musical ideas and styles.

This line-up split in January 1977, but a reconstituted version of the band appeared on the London gig circuit in the early 80's and recorded one album.

The fluctuating activity of the group saw yet another reunion in the latter part of the 80's.

This incarnation faltered when Alan Spenner died in August 1991.
