With a specific agenda but much less a musical style,
the Funboy Five formed in January 1979 in Hemel Hempstead, England.
To this day, nobody has been able
to adequately describe in words, sounds or even in mime, what the
agenda or the much less a musical style actually were.
Mystery and enigma were key
components of the group’s identity. It was always intended that this
would be the case.
The group, however, did have people
in it; originally, there were four:
Mick
Sinclair:
guitar,
vocal, trumpet.
John
McRae:
keyboard.
Robert:
(surname
unrevealed but once given as) 'Radhall':
drums.
Bob Brimson:
bass.
At
the heart of the group was the mysterious ‘fifth’ member suggested by
the name. In their first photo, a space was indeed left for the
mysterious fifth member
