Brett Marvin & The Thunderbolts was formed from a previous connection in 1967 to Thomas Bennett Comprehensive School in Crawley, Sussex. Teacher at the school Peter Gibson, a graduate of Liverpool College of Art, set up a blues and folk club at which sixth-form student Graham Hine played. Gibson was also playing in a blues duo called Bottled in Bond. Hine with fellow student Keith Trussell (aka Keef Trouble), and friend John Randall were joined by Gibson and new acquaintance Jim Pitts to form a new band: Hine (acoustic/electric guitar), Trussell (rhythm/zobstick), Randall (rhythm/washboard), Gibson (kazoo) and Pitts (mandolin/banjo/harmonica/). This new band, now called Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts, developed a country blues style accompanied by a variety of eccentric percussion instruments.
