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
