After 6 months playing together as a folk duo they met Don Smith. Don, a fifteen year old Boys Brigade drummer, was a student of drum tutor Nicky Holcroft (who later became comedian Nicky Martin)... The Vigilantes played their first gig at Latchford Hall on 2nd October 1961 for the princely sum of £1.10s...
