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 and, where possible, I have added the sources used, whether they are newspapers or websites. 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.
The band was formed in Crouch End, north London by Robb Storme (aka Robert J Scales) and Pete Wilson (aka Wil Malone) in late 1950s. The group went through numerous changes over the years
By late 1963 the line-up was:
Robb Storme – lead vocals
Chuck Hardy – lead guitar
Jim St Pier – saxophone, keyboards
Gary Hooper (aka Garry Peterson) – bass
Pete Wilson – drums, keyboards
