One of the first rock groups to have a female drummer, The Honeycombs were formed in London in 1963 as The Sherabons by hairdressers Martin Murray and Ann Lantree. The group took their name from Lantree's nick-name and one of the tools of their hairdressing trade. Under the guidance of legendary producer Joe Meek, their first record "Have I The Right?" reached the No. 1 spot in August '64. They were unable to promote their follow-up records due to a lengthy tour of Australia which kept them out of the public eye at a vital point in their career. There was one further hit in '65, "That's The Way", but no subsequent releases had any impact and The Honeycombs ended their days on the cabaret circuit.
