Terry Clarke - lead guitar, Johnny Payne - rhythm guitar, Michael Brice - bass, Rod Meacham - drums. They all were students at Connaught Road School in Bristol. Their name came from the youth organization, the Eagle House Youth Club, to which they all belonged. The quartet played local dances, parties, and bingo halls, performing during the intervals between the sessions at the latter, often for whatever was in the hat that was passed around. The band managed to appear at Royal Festival Hall in 1962, as part of the final round of the Rhythm Group of the Year competition organized by the Duke of Edinborough. |
