This group had evolved from the Vagabonds one of Kings Lynn’s earliest Skiffle/Rock’n’roll bands. The band were managed and roadied for by friends Dave Lomax & Roy Dickson. Roy had a Vauxhall Cresta and Dave a Humber Snipe and between them moved the band and equipment about
The group had the Monday night residency at the Palm Courts at the back of the Globe hotel and were also regulars at The Casino in Hunstanton, an american airmans haunt
For a brief period the New Manager of the Woolworths joined them, a young Howard Platt who went on to run the first ever dance held at the corn exchange putting on his brother Harveys band the Continentals. His stay was brief as he preferred Jazz, but he did retain the services of the band to back The Continentals at the corn exchange
Malcolm Boswell also moved on leaving Fruit Juice to take on the roll of bassist. The end of the group came when Mike Donald left to join the Paul Chris Showband, Joe & Graham had been thinking of quitting music and the band drifted apart
