In early 2016 Rosie, Niall, Dougie and Matt started jamming together. They had first played in a band together about six months earlier when Rosie performed guest vocals for a gig with Stone The Crows. In February 2016 the new band had its first public performance at The Sorry Head in Exeter. Here they are in the last song of their opening set for the Thursday Jam Night, performing the Spanky Wilson version of “Sunshine Of Your Love”.

A few weeks later, the group invited Steve to a rehearsal to jam along on keyboards. The first rehearsal went very well – so much so that by the second rehearsal the group were recording their first demo tracks and TheSixySix was born..
