It all started on the 31st of May 1948, Paul Andrew Davis was born in Walton-on-Thames. His mother was an Irish nurse and his Father a civil engineer; a career path Paul was reluctant to take. Paul grew up in Surrey town Esher and attended St. Geroges College in Weybridge, guitarists Alan Cowderoy and Peter Lawes joined Paul in starting a pop/blues based cover band, they called themselves “Satans Disciples“; an ironic name considering their catholic school!

Being the least experienced guitar player, Paul took up drum kit and multi tasked singing, a task few have managed to master… “The sixth form review was held once a year and attended by pupils, parents and teachers. We were asked if we would close the evening and we played songs from the Beatles and Stones and went down a storm, giving several encores to a full house. The following year we were approached to close the evening again. Bands like The Who and The Kinks had become popular and so we had decided to incorporate some offbeat sounds into our songs to liven things up a bit. We played the set and as the last number ended, I held the microphone in front of the electric guitar loudspeaker, which was set to "Tremolo" (like "Wah Wah") achieving a sort of "Whooi Whooi" ear splitting high pitched whine, all at full volume of course !! We had arranged with the "stage manager" to close the curtains on the final cymbal crash, and anticipating the same success as the previous year, he reopened them again to a deafening, embarrassing silence...! And if that wasn't enough, we played another "number" as a encore....! to equal silence, The show must go on I guess !!“
