Capt. Joy Webb - keyboards/vocals

Peter Dalziel - bass guitar/vocals

Bill Davidson - guitar

Sylvia Gair - tambourine/vocals

Wyncliffe Noble - drums





A real oddity this one, but they were a beat group and they did manage two minor hits.

Webb, Dalziel and Davidson were all full-time Salvation Army officers (i.e. ministers within the Army).

Noble was an architect who, although not a cadet or officer like the rest of the group, was still a uniformed Salvationist, the only difference being that he did not attend training college.

The very fact that such a group could be formed and achieve a degree of success only emphasises the impact that The Beatles had on British life.
