After Cult broke up, Billy became a guitar for hire.
He met Mike Peters (The Alarm) at the Phoenix Festival Soccer tournament.
Billy played with Peters in the U.S. and contributed on Peters solo album.
Billy & Mike recruted Craig Adams (The Mision, ex-Cult) on bass and Johnny Donnelly (Saw Doctors) on drums.
They wrote some songs and planned a tour of the U.K. and U.S.
Johhny Donnelly's band, the Saw Doctors had a tour of their own planned, so Duffy & Peters hired Steve Grantly (Stiff Little Fingers) to drum for the tour.
Colour Sound impressed everyone, including Bob Rock, who later produced their demo tape.
ColourSound played Asbury Park in New Jersey (Dec.7, 98)and press immediatly dubbed them 'The Future of Rock'n'Roll'.
ColourSound signs a world-wide record deal with new U.S. label Velvel (Nov. 17, 98).
Velvel went belly up, Sanctuary Music Productions sends album out(exclusive deal by 21st Century Records)
