Early Years
O'Hara began her music career in her home town of Bristol joining Gunner Kade, a band led by Ken Pustelnik, drummer from The Groundhogs. She then joined a band called Wisper, who combined their solo career with backing various artists. Wisper evolved into Uncle Po who won the BBC's Quiz Kid band competition in 1977, subsequently releasing a single on the BEEB label "Use My Friends" (so rare, that a copy sold in 2006 on eBay for over £80). Uncle Po included Rob Williams on guitar and Gavin King on vocals.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“The girl must early be impressed with the idea that she is to be “a hand, not a mouth”; a worker, and not a drone, in the great hive of human activity. Like the boy, she must be taught to look forward to a life of self-dependence, and early prepare herself for some trade or profession.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“In former years it was said that at three o’clock in the afternoon all sober persons were rounded up and herded off the grounds, as undesirable. The tradition of insobriety is still carefully preserved.”
—For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
