Legendary Belfast band who were contemporaries of Them. Frontman Brian Rossi had been singing with skiffle groups and big bands since the 50s, including the Manhattan Showband with guitarist Herbie Armstrong. His shaven head gave him a distinctive presence (he also has a tattoo of a wheel on his scalp). The rest of the band had been in The Golden Eagles. Rossi and Armstrong had both earlier been members of the Manhattan Showband.
The band was based in Blackpool during 1964, playing the northern soul circuit and living on a farm shared with the Rockin' Vicars (with a pre Motorhead Lemmy Kilminster). Original rhythm guitarist Kit Carson left during this residency. He was eventually replaced by Rod Demick in late 1965, who sang most of the R & B numbers, while Rossi was more of a crooner and did the more sophisticated material. The band built up a very strong following in the North of England and went on to record several wild beat singles.
