Fraser Hayes Four

The four original members were Jimmy Fraser (Potts), Tony Hayes, Dave Mason and June Ellis/Kerry Sims.

In June 1950, they appeared on the BBC Radio show Variety Fanfare, and were given positive comments by the critics.

However, in January 1951, Dennis withdrew, possibly in part due to the financial pressures of maintaining such a group.

Fraser and Hayes remained constant for the life of the group, but the female lead and the fourth (bass) voice changed periodically.

Canadian Harry Currie became the fourth male voice in 1962, appearing with the group during their six-week headlining engagement at London's Latin Quarter cabaret club and on several BBC broadcasts.

Jimmy Fraser was often a guest at George Mitchells house in Kissimmee Florida, (famous for The Black & White Minstrel Show).
