and Whichwhat), Bob Todd (later on with Carl Pagan and the Heathens, Our Young and Whichwhat), Mick Hanson (bass

April 1966 ready to launch us on 7 May at the Rainbow Rooms - (line-up as above).

Wayne Ford (formerly of the Mysteries and Carl and the Starlighters), Bob Todd (formerly of the Mysteries) and
Ray Wood formed in July 1965. This picture came from a business card (hence how grainy it is) and was taken at the
front of Arnot Hill House, Arnold Park on Sunday 29 August 1965 after a religious service gig we played.
Our Young – taken from the balcony at Nottingham Palais (line-up as above). The date of this is probably
Thursday 20th October 1966.
Ray Wood, Bob Todd, Derek Smith, Wayne Ford
Our Young – taken at the Dancing Slipper Tuesday 20th December 1966 (line-up as above). This was a
private function hence we were on the little stage at the far end instead of the big one on the left against the
window.
