The Flying Ravens

The Flying Ravens are a Fortusan band, formed in Thorpewag in 1967.

History
The Flying Ravens formed in 1967 in the remote village of Thorpewag, over 100 kilometres from the nearest town, Eckston, and nearly 400 kilometres North of Hurstville.

Because the band formed in such a remote location, the members were of varying ages, Ricky Wells being only 16 at the time, and Gorden Rickford being 28. The group performed in Eckston occasionally, before being signed to EMI International in 1968.

The band was forced to locate to a larger town, moving to Streamton in late 1968…
