Welcome to another posting of a series of gig listings for 1960s bands. None of these lists is exhaustive and my idea is to add to them in the comments section below over time. They are here for future researchers to draw on. I have also added a few interesting bits of information and will add images in time.
I’d like to encourage band members to get in touch to share memories, or for anyone to send corrections/clarifications to my email: Warchive@aol.com
Equally important, if you attended any of the gigs below or played in the support band, please do leave your memories below in the comments section for future historians to use. If you know of any missing gigs, please add them too, if possible, with the sources.
An obscure British ‘60s band, who may well have hailed from the Surrey area, judging by the gigs below. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who can add more information about the group’s members and history in the comments below

GROUP SURVIVAL – Obscure is about right. I was a regular at the Harvest Moon Club in Guildford in 65 and 66 and I have no memory of them whatsoever !
