John Bywaters (Twilights Bassist): “John Hardy was the flipside, a Manfred Mann copy of a traditional song. It was done fairly terribly. At the end of the song we had feedback that people were complaining that were blowing out their speakers on their car radios. It was just a mess of feedback from guitars and such like and had to be re-recorded in Melbourne (rather than Adelaide like the original) to satisfy the company A&R men. We had to do it properly they said.”

Glenn Shorrock: “The Vectormen soon moved away and then The Hurricanes moved in. They had John Perry as lead singer and Kevin Peek (Later of Sky) on lead guitar, John Bywaters on bass, Peter Brideoake on rhythm guitar and Frank Bernard on Drums. We worked with them at the Salisbury Youth Centre for quite a while and built up a small following. Kevin Peek left to join the Vectormen and form Johnny Broome & The Handels. So Kevin recommended a little weed of a guy from Tea Tree Gully called Terry Britten. He joined and we became firm friends. The Twilights then were six. Mike Sykes sadly had to be sacked and that was one of the bitter periods of my life. He was probably my best friend at the time but that was my first taste of being professionally ruthless… fortunately there are no hard feelings now. So that’s how the six piece Twilights came into being. We would play half an hour at one end of the Salisbury Youth Centre and then Johnny Broome & The Handels would play the other end, facing us, for the other half hour. So it was like a battle of the bands and we enjoyed a keen rivalry…”
