The Original Band

The original band was formed in the lounge room of Terry Overton's parents house during the early seventies. Of the four band members on Merv had previous experience. While no one can quite remember how long Terry remained as lead singer  it was only a very short time. We can't quit remember whether we couldn't put up with his singing or he couldn't put up with our playing but which ever it was wee still remained go friends for a number of years after. Various band members would remember the long talk sessions in the caravan parked and the back of Terry's parents Place. I don't remember if any songs were written there but I certainly remember it as being a place of inspiration of our growths as young adults.
