Rising Star Agency (The Models)

One of Cecil's girls made Amateur

Photographer Magazine cover 1982

Rising Star Agency was set up by PCRL's founder Cecil Morris at 151 Dudley Road, Edgbaston, above the Rising Star Record Shop in the late 1970's. It was an agency to promote local talent of all styles; fashion, dancers, models, singers, reggae groups. One young lady Cecil thinks her name was Jackie Bailey hit the big time when she made front page of Amateur Photographer Magazine in 1982. I tried to find a copy of the mag on line with no luck, hoping to find more details, perhaps one will turn up with time.

Another stunner from this period was Sarah Colexis
