A Gentle Feeling 1968 - Beginnings

Around the middle of 1968 a new band called A Gentle Feeling took shape.  The new venture was initiated by Dave Stubley (drums) who got together with Paul Egan (bass and vocals) and Lindsay Smith (lead guitar).  Both Dave and Paul had previously played in Dunedin bands and met up through those connections.  This line-up never performed in public due mostly to the inability to rehearse properly (lack of practice space, gear and transport) and Lindsay Smith’s decision to leave.
