Keith and Terry were born on the same day in 1945 but did not meet until they were 11 years old as first year pupils at Gaywood Park Secondary Modern School in King's Lynn. They soon formed a firm friendship and by the time they had shared their fifteenth Birthday they were rocking King's Lynn Youth Centre, West Winch Youth Club and Terrington Boy Scout Hut to the foundations with The Twighlights. Keith moved away in 1963 and went on to play with Ilford Band The Mixture and Peterborough bands Cover Story, Orpheus and Butch. Meanwhile Terry remained in Norfolk and fronted and played drums for some of the county's leading bands including The Devil's Coachmen, The Sundowners, Southern Breeze, Pinewood County and Rose County. Terry and Keith did not meet again for nearly forty years until 2001 when they teamed up again in the magnificant but late lamented Heron Skiffle Band.
While all the afore mentioned was taking place, that young slip of a lad, Roger, was besides less important stuff, studying art at Leicester, rigging for the BBC and the Radio One Roadshow, and playing harmonica in a variety of Lincoln based bands including White Line Fever and The Tap and Spile All Stars. He can often be found on a Sunday evening Jamming at The Tap!
Roger and Keith first met in 2004 when they joined Lincolns legendary Armoury Boys Band (pause for effect). In early 2007 they started performing as a duo and are somrtimes joined at gigs (If it's good money and free beer) by Terry. Maurace Muligan (also of Armoury boys fame) is a late addition to the act. He has played in bands both at local and national levels for many years as well as holding various key positions in the music industry. He and Roger have been friends for may years.
