This was a Christchurch group although Pine was from Gisborne and Martin was from Frankton.

The group competed in The Big Beat Dance Band Contest held in February 1965 in Canterbury Court, Christchurch.  The Chants R&B were the victorious group on the occasion.  Peter, Paul and The Pursuers were runners-up, with Timaru's Beat Unlimited in third place, and another Timaru band The Kor-Tels in 4th place, out of the six finalists.
