This band soon changes to The Sabres a relaunch of another one of Cators bands. Cator is the only original member of either band.
This group sprang out of complete obscurity back in [month required] 1964 when their unsettled line-up was published as nominees for the Kings Lynn beat poll. Awaiting the arrival of a new bass player the group were entered as a three piece
Lennie Hamblin had previously been with The Starlights who had become Kings Lynn high flyers The Sabres and then depped with Fakenhams, Electrons
Despite a clutch of local gigs the group struggled to maintain a stable line-up and folded in early 1964 when frontman Tony Cator joined The Bruntones. Lennie Hamblin then cropped up playing for The Mysterians, Part III who lived up to their name as very little is know about them and is believed to be linked with Brian Cross the promoter [unconfirmed]
