Formed in Rainworth, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in 1959.
The band practiced at The Church Hall on Southwell Road East, Rainworth, opposite the home of Stu Lane.
Stu Lane and Geoff Bradbury were friends from the Rainworth Methodist Church. Mick Wilson was a friend of Bradbury from Brunts and Keith Williams was a friend of Lane from Queen Elizabeths School, Rainworth.
In September 1962 they changed their name to Ricky Storm and the Stormcats soon after the London group The Tornados had their first hit with 'Telstar.'
It was around this time that Keith Wilson left to be replaced by Mick Hodgkinson who passed an audition at the Rainworth Methodist Church.
