As part of his coping mechanism, Lenny would frequent the local youth and community center affectionately known as 'Saxon' and this is where his love of music was first aroused, and his first music outfit Cygnus (name checked by Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols/PIL as one of his favourite bands at the time) was formed and later signed to Greensleaves Records now part of VP Records.
Cygnus released two singles for Greensleaves namely 'Babylon (you've got to set Jah children free) and a cover version of the Peter Noone hit 'Silhouettes'.

dom Sounds label namely ‘ It’s not hard’ and a cover version of McFadden & Whitehead’s ‘Ain’t
no stopping us now’, as well as providing the music for Jackie Dale (a stalwart of Rubie’s). The

or what turns you on’ made record of the week in the Echoes music paper and recently turned
