My band “The Squires” was formed in late 1964 with some high school buddies in North Burnaby, B.C. Canada. We played local dances, sock hops, roller rinks, community centers and junior high school and high school dances.We never recorded but were fairly popular in the Burnaby, Vancouver areas from early 1965 to late 1967.
We had matching outfits like the Ventures and other gigging Pacific Northwest bands.
The band morphed into one of my other bands: The Silver Chalice Revue Band in 1968
