Here is the link

I'll have to find that link as I don't remember in Pans People

Says here she was

Flick Colby (of Pan's People) was born in 1946.

Sarah B was born in 1960.

Wiki says that Pan's People's last appearances were in 1976, when Sarah B would have only been 16.

So I think ... no.

[joggerjayne]

Just seen above link.

So she DID join at 16.

That's my theory blown, then.

according to her own official website she was.

http://www.sarah-brig....com/about_sarah.html

"At the age of sixteen, she landed a coveted spot in Pan's People. As the resident dance troupe of BBC Television’s top-rated hit-parade show, Top of the Pops, this all-girl group ruled the airwaves, attracting a rabid and devoted following. Even though BBC's new lineup meant that Pan's People would no longer grace the hit show, nothing could be more glamorous to a dancer than becoming a Pan’s Person.

Induction into the group required, however, that Sarah drop out of school, which was precisely what she did, despite pronounced parental trepidation. No one could have predicted then that this risky move would, in time, pay off so handsomely for Sarah and her legions of fans.

Before long, Sarah was spotted by choreographer Arlene Phillips ......"

Her own website does indeed say she joined Pans People at age 16. I doubt she was there long but maybe I was too young to remember

[Davethedog]

My apologies

Wiki lety me down again

[factor-fiction]

Ah, so it seems she joined Pans People AFTER TOTP stopped using them.

[joggerjayne]

That's called "missing the boat" F30!
