Jim Cooper (Rhythm Guitar), Brian Dean (Lead Guitar), Michael Robinson (Bass Guitar) and Glen Hughes (Drums)
The group competed in The Big Beat Dance Band Contest held in February 1965 in Canterbury Court, Christchurch, at which time the line-up included John McRae (Lead Guitar) - who had been a member of the Invercargil Courtells band which reached the Southern Finals of Joe Brown's 'Search For Stars' along with Jimmy Owen-Cooper (Rhythm Guitar) - a member with experience in the role since age 13, forming his own band at age 14. The group had also included Russell McRae (Bass Guitar).
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.
The group had Invercargill connections and reputedly played at the Pride Of Place around 1963. |
