Affinity had its origins in the mid-60s at the University Of Sussex when three science students - pianist Lynton Naiff, drummer Grant Serpell and double-bass player Nick Nicholas - formed the US Jazz Trio. One year later another science student, Mo Foster, who had originally played bass guitar in his school band, adapted to playing drums in the band when Grant Serpell graduated. After University and a short-lived involvement in a pop group called Ice, Lynton and Grant invited Mo to play bass in a proposed new jazz-influenced pop band. The guys held auditions for a guitarist and were delighted to find ex-Tridents guitarist Mike Jopp. Mike's father guaranteed the band's loan so they were able to purchase some amplifiers and instruments.
