Faron (Bill Ruffley) - bass guitar/vocals

Paddy Chambers - guitar (born April 3rd 1944, died September 28th 2000)

Nicky Crouch - guitar

Trevor Morais - drums

 

Faron was a semi-legendary figure in the Liverpool area (he was nick-named "the panda-footed prince of prance"), and his group had a fine uninhibited style. Both of their singles were interpretations of song originally issued by US group The Contours.

The group folded at the end of '63 when both Faron and Paddy Chambers left to join The Big Three, while Crouch joined The Mojos.
