Started out in the early 60s playing instrumentals and the hits of the day. They later moved on to also playing beat and rock & roll.

They played all over Cornwall, playing with the likes of The Mohawks, Billy Black, The Strangers, Gunslingers, Drifters, Manny Cockle, etc.

They also took a staring role in the St Blazey production of Ali Babi. The band performed two songs in the show, as well as acting as a group of robbers!

As well as playing Cornwall they undertook a mini holiday tour of the UK, playing places such as Manchester, Liverpool, London and Blackpool. They set off in their Morris 100 van and knocked on doors as they arrived securing paying gigs to help pay for the next step of their holiday around the UK!
