Initially a four piece of Kenny Mitchell (vocals), Scott Ballantyne (guitar), Ewin Murray (drums) and Gerry Doyle[3] (electric bass), the band became known for powerful, and usually violent, live shows.
The lineup changed throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, leaving singer Kenny Mitchell as the sole original member.
However, an 18-year-old, Jonny Fiddles, who attended that last gig and who was raised in the same area of New Farm Loch, Kilmarnock, would ultimately become the fifth member of the Termites in years to come.
Vocalist Kenny Mitchell's relocation to Boston, Massachusetts, US, for several years ensured that the original band could not rise again.
He now works at lucky cat Tattoo Parlour in after the sad closure of his own shop land ohoy Glasgow.
