The Opposition on stage at The Plainsman circa 1964
Ted Meares (Lead Guitar), Jim Whitfield (Drums), Peter Gillette (Rhythm Guitar/Keyboards) and founder Peter Hansen (Bass Guitar)
Peter Hansen had replaced George Drayton on bass, whilst Ted Meares had replaced Brian Dean on lead — the name (Opposition) was Peter Gillette's brainchild. Peter would eventually move on to joint Peter Nelson and The Castaways in Wellington, while Ted Meares took up musical tuition, working for Clarrie Light.
Other members over time included Dave Henderson, Larry McKay and Phil Battersby on guitar. Tom Corlett and Dave Diver on drums.
The Opposition was a group of versatility who presented a sound musical programme ranging from standards to R&B — long time residents at The Bush Inn Courts
