-Hi There-

Family affair is a multi-ethnic group that was born at the height of the swinging 60s;

If you like the Monkees, the Small faces or the Mamas and Papas you'll love us.

Family Affair

"Family Affair", the well known UK Group since the sixties received recognition belatedly with their latest CD of 60's music titled "Hanging Around".

BBC Radio 2 played this song on the Brian Matthews Saturday Morning Show 'Sounds of the 60s' on 3rd July 2004.

They paid tribute to Hermon Fernando, Keyboard Player who passed away on 7th June 2004

.

Family Affair is described as:-

"Curio dating originally from the 60's,

Noel Cream & Herb Fernando capture the fresh and positive feelings that coursed through the first summer of love.

Recorded at EMI Manchester Square Studios, London, this has the harmonic influence of the West Coast Mamas School as well as a smile on every note played.

Lighten your load and keep truckin".
