THE HIPPLE PEOPLE were formed in 1963 and the original members were from left to right Sandy Lax – Guitar, David Valentine – Vocals, – Raymond James – Drums, John Cross – Bass, Jim Marshall – Guitar.

We met at Broughton High School as the Fifties became the Sixties, and we gradually got together talking about music and all teenage things.

Raymond – Three of us were in the same class, Davy, Jim and myself, Sandy and John Cross were in another class.
