Origins
Sweet's origins go back to 1965, with UK soul band Wainwright's Gentlemen, which included drummer Mick Tucker and vocalist Ian Gillan. The group were limited to small UK clubs playing a mixture of rhythm and blues and psychedelia. Gillan quit in May 1965 to join Episode Six, and, later, Deep Purple. Gillan's eventual replacement was vocalist Brian Connolly. Tucker and Connolly remained with Wainwright's Gentlemen until early 1968.
Early years
In January 1968, Brian Connolly and Mick Tucker left Wainwright's Gentlemen to form another band, calling themselves The Sweetshop
thanks to hotshotdigital for this
Brian Connolly was born in Hamilton, Scotland on the 5th October 1945 (although early Sweet biographies claimed he was born in 1949). He was adopted at birth and went by the name Brian McManus until he was 18, when he discovered that he was adopted and changed his surname to his mother´s, Connolly. He moved to Middlesex and joined Wainwright's Gentlemen, replacing Ian Gillan. The drummer was Mick Tucker, born on the 17th July 1947. Wainwright's Gentlemen split up in 1968 without releasing any records
