Pre Tintern Abbey to the first incarnation

Prior to forming Tintern Abbey, Don Smith was a member of Twickenham band, The Turnkeys.  Below is a newspaper report from 1964 announcing the band's success in securing a contract to provide the score for a film.

    The group look dapper all right. It is up to imagination what variety of colours would be on display.
