The "bogus" Fleetwood Mac featured Elmer Gantry (vocals), Kirby Gregory (guitar), Paul Martinez (bass), Craig Collinge (drums), and John Wilkinson (keyboards).

Elmer Gantry, Kirby Gregory, and Paul Martinez, went on to form the band Stretch.
Gantry had a *tiny* bit of fame in the UK before the bogus band debacle, and after Stretch, he was a vocalist for the Alan Parsons Project.

Interestingly enough, in the years after their involvement with the bogus band, Gregory played on Danny Kirwan's 'Hello There Big Boy,' and Martinez worked with Chicken Shack (Christine's former band).

Craig Collinge played drums for Manfred Mann for a while.
I'm not sure if John Wilkinson is the same fella who played guitar for Elvis Presley, or not. There's also a John Wilkinson who works as an engineer in the music industry. The bogus band's Wilkinson may not be either of these guys.
