By the time their first album ‘What’s The Matter Boy?’ was released, the line up had changed five times.
In the 1980s Vic got together with musicians whose talents allowed him to experiment with Jazz, Swing and Motown beats. Beginning with the ‘Songs for Sale’ LP, then recording ‘Trouble’ with Working Week and Pete Thomas’s Jumping Jive.
