The brainchild of drummer Doug D, bassist Norm B. and guitarist Jim G., Attractive Nuisance had it humble beginnings as a skiffle group popular with working-class teenagers in London's West Side during the early '60's.  They were known for their song "Daytripper", which unfortunately, by shear coincidence, was identical to a song by another popular local group at that time.

 

The Nuisance flourished during the late sixties with the addition of C.J.B. on vocals and R.R.R. on guitar.  Many musicians would join the band at various times, prompting them to call this "The Attractive Nuisance Rock and Roll Circus".  Once again, a cruel fate would befall them, and the idea would be stolen and popularized by another popular band of the era.
