In [date required] the vision of Clive Tatton to produce a group featuring musicians he felt could be a national success saw the amalgamation of the local Ipswich outfits The Four Just Men and The Senators - the band became Nix Nomads
After returning from Hamburg in July 1964 The band landed a residency at The Top 20 Club held in Felixstowe’s Forum
In late 1964 the band were given a boost when manager Jack Segal was approached after a concert by wealthy American Amon Meric with a five year sponsorship deal. Although the deal never reached full fruition it did produce the now highly collectable 45 of the band on the HMV label later that year. The Demo’s of the record have become rarer still the band for their single outing were named Nix Nomands
The B side of the record: "It actually came about in the recording studio after recording the 'A' side. We were suddenly confronted with the question ''What are you going to do for the 'B' side. So Nick had these words in his mind and myself and Dave Cutting conjured up the chord sequence then Ben Foster and Ron West joined in with various ideas and within about half an hour we recorded it. There was absolutely no input from Roy Pitt or Jack Segal at all, but they are named on the label. Pleased to report that in some quarters of the recording world it has become a British rhythm and blues classic. I still have in my possession the original demo disc. Happy days" RC 05/03/2021
"Johnny Roache was The Nomads stand in drummer when Ron could not make it." Roy Glover December 2020
The downfall of the group came when Nick also joined [area required] based Fairies who were doing well in the capitol. Nick would be away a lot and [name required] would stand in on vocals. Nick eventually left and the band split.
