Formed at Wymondham College in 1964, the group get off to a bad start when a teacher confiscates all their equipment. Barratt who later surfaces in The Audio B Band said, “I seem to remember Latten wasn't in the group long before I took over on vocals and harmonica. Al Dean was the only real musical guy in the group at the time. We didn’t have a bass player, so he would bash out the bass notes on the piano,”.
We believe Dean later played for Downham Market band Hardline (unconfirmed).
