Formed in 1960 by Virgina Water, Surrey-raised singer Ron Prior, who’d started out with The Highlights, a group that briefly included future Kinks drummer Mick Avory.

The group played extensively throughout Surrey for the best part of two years before Prior departed to form The Black Arrows.

Ron would love to hear from any surviving band members in the comments section below
