Founding members are viola player Bev Ross and her husband, singer Rodd Peters, a former musical duo.

Bev grew up listening only to classical music until Rod introduced her to 1960s classics.

“There was no pop music allowed in our house when I was young. My parents were very strict, it had to be classical only,” Bev said.

“I only started playing sixties music when I met my husband, ‘Rocking Rod’, 20 years ago, and he introduced me to all of this wonderful Beatles and 60s music which I had missed out on as a teenager.”

Bev and Rod set up the band with long-time friends Carol Jason and Angela. Carol Beardmore, Johanne Levy, Bronwen Bevan and Michelle Shaffer later joined.
