Beginnings

In February 1962 the “Belaires” started out being known by the bands original name “The Outsiders”. The founder members of the band were Noel Browne (lead) Ian Strachan (drums and band leader), Lawrence James (rhythm) and Butch Bennett Bass. In the first few months of the bands existence Ronnie Pienaar and Bonny Bennett shared vocals. However, the band at the time played mainly instrumentals at basing themselves on the Shadows. 

In the very early days of the bands existence Noel Browne played lead on a home made electric guitar which he made himself. He, as was Lawrence James and Butch Bennett very pleased with themselves when they were able to go out and purchase from “Radio Limited” their brand new Fenders. – Lead, Fender Stratocaster, Rhythm, Fender Esquire and a Fender Precision Bass.

de Morgan's law:

How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

“Every person must choose how much truth he can stand”, said Irvin Yalom, American writer and psychiatrist. “Self-awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as life. This is what makes us human. But it comes with a costly price: the wound of mortality.”
