indian Sweet
Sweet’s origins can be traced back to British soul band Wainwright’s Gentlemen. Mark Lay’s history of that band states they formed around 1962 and were initially known as Unit 4. Founder members included Chris Wright (vocals), Jan Frewer (bass), with Jim Searle and Alfred Fripp on guitars. Phil Kenton joined on drums as the band changed its name to Wainwright’s Gentlemen (due to there being another band known as Unit 4). Managed by Frewer’s father, the band performed in the Hayes, Harrow and Wembley area. By 1964 the group was also playing in London, including at the Saint Germain Club in Poland Street.
