A History of the Sixties THE HIPPLE PEOPLE Band from 1963 to 2023 — 60 Years.

The early 1960’s resounded to a new musical sound.

Its background was Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll and Country and Western Music originating in the USA but given a very distinctive British style.

A style that was soon take over the world. The original Band members David Valentine, Jim Marshall, Raymond James, Sandy Lax all aged 16, attended Broughton High School, Edinburgh and after final exam years decided it would be a great idea to get on this roller coaster.

The friendship created on this journey has lasted through tears, laughter and music for 60 years.
