Short-lived Melbourne band Quinn was formed in 1969 by Mike Edwards and Ross Hannaford after Party Machine broke up when Ross Wilson went to on join Procession in the UK. Recruiting Barry Windley (ex-Chessman and Cherokees) on drums and Steve Edwards on bass they were managed by David Flint of Thumping Tum fame. Together for about 18 months they gigged around Melbourne and appeared on all the usual pop TV shows. Their only release was a cover of Bob Dylan's ''I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and ''Mighty Quinn'' on the Festival label. ''Mighty Quinn'' was an Australian hit for British band Manfred Mann ((#8 on the national chart). They disbanded when Wilson returned to Australia and recruited Hannaford to form Daddy Cool. Ross Hannaford died on 8 March 2016 aged 65 from cancer; he had been diagnosed with the condition a year earlier.
