"I never argue with anyone about the death penalty, politics, their football team or God. They are the things nobody changes their minds on, so it's a waste of time."

Simon Napier-Bell


The music that matters from Britain during the sixties; a lost time when the British sports car ruled, BOAC traversed the Empire, and manners were largely adhered to.

The Soundcasters - Pre-Pussyfoot 1965-6

Prior to forming the Pussyfoot in 1966, the original members rehearsed and performed locally as 'The Soundcasters', dating back to their school days. As you can see, their success as 'The Pussyfoot' is in part down to the Hubert Pink, the Archdeacon of Hampstead. Three schoolboy band members were choirboys when Hubert Pink was Rector of Hackney and lent them a church room to practise in. Thus began the Soundcasters and eventually Pussyfoot.


Many thanks once more to Pussyfoot member Terry Barfield for the following news cuttings and photographs of the Soundcasters circa 1965/6.
