The King Bees consisted of: Davie Jones
(vocals, tenor saxophone), George Underwood (rhythm guitar, vocals, harmonica), Roger
Bluck (lead guitar), Dave Howard (bass guitar) and Robert (Bobby) Allen (drums).
Their name was taken from the Slim Harpo song 'I'm A King Bee'.
They auditioned and rehearsed at Ronnie Pressman's flat in Albion Street, near Marble Arch
for manager to-be Leslie Conn. Their debut gig at the Jack Of Clubs in aid of John Bloom's
wedding anniversary party, they performed two songs, 'Got My Mojo Working' and 'Hoochie
Coochie Man'. The vast majority of shows performed were in clubs and colleges in Bromley,
Kent.
