The Vikings started as a skiffle group in the Nechells district of Birmingham in the spring of 1957, formed by Terry Wallace and his friends George Jenkins, John "Bango" Badrick, Allan Compton, John Jolley, and Terry Smith, with their first gig being at the local Cromwell Street Working Men's Club. Barry Harber played bass 1961-1964 (thanks to Pete Dicks for the information) [2]
They released three singles on Pye in the mid-1960s, one of which – "Your Loving Ways" – was written by the group.[3]
