Yes many bands including the one I was in Cyners (pronounced Sinners). We came along after the Avengers – if you don’t remember Gloria you weren’t there!. We were John Kairn, Derek Pritchard, Peter Woods, John Kairn and I. We eventually won the Hoadley’s Battle of the Sounds. The Magic Apple were our contemporaries.
