Comment:

Their drummer, Honey Lantree (born 'Anne Margot Lantree') was born Aug 28th (also my brother-in-law Jed's birthday! - LsA) of 1943. Their fiest single was the #1 English hit 'Have I the Right?' (June 1964). She was one of the few female drummers in Pop music at the time, along with Sylvia Saunders of all-female group The Liverbirds (Mo Tucker of The Velvet Underground started a little later, late 1965).
