Formation
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.

Famous quotes containing the word formation:
“Those who were skillful in Anatomy among the Ancients, concluded from the outward and inward Make of an Human Body, that it was the Work of a Being transcendently Wise and Powerful. As the World grew more enlightened in this Art, their Discoveries gave them fresh Opportunities of admiring the Conduct of Providence in the Formation of an Human Body.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
