Bill Fehilly and his brother Dave set up a cafe in Prince's street Thurso sometime in the late 50s. The cafe was above what is now Sandra's and which is now a backpacker's hostel.It was the in place at the time.
Bill and Dave were painters and decorators but had a flair for other things too, particulary dance promotions in the town hall Thurso and various venues throughout Caithness in the 60s.
They left Thurso sometime in the early 70s and set up bingo halls in and around Perth which apparently became quite successful.
Bill managed various well known bands around that time. Remember Nazereth, Budgie, Geordie to name but a few.
He died in a plane crash sometime around the late 70s or early 80s.
