The Fairytale formed in February 1967 in Warrington, Lancashire. (due to county border changes Warrington is now in Cheshire). The founder members were: John Weston (4), Malcolm Rabbitt, Chiddy Penketh, Billy Fogg and John Ryan. John Ryan left the group in March 1967. Malcolm Rabbitt and John Weston wrote all the band’s songs – a mixture of Rock, Soul and Blues. The band split in January 1968.
