Cherry Smash

Cherry Smash were formed in Gosport, Hampshire, England, in 1966 by John Curtis, Mick Gill, Graham Hunt, Bryan Sebastian and Mark Tuddenham. Their debut single for Track Records, 1967’s ‘Sing Songs Of Love’, was written for the band by Mike Hugg - Sebastian’s brother - and Mick Gill. A melodramatic, syrupy pop song, it featured on the soundtrack to Manfred Mann’s Up The Junction and gained the band some national recognition. Gill left the group before it signed to Decca Records for 1968’s ‘Goodtime Sunshine’/‘Little Old Country Home Town’, another Hugg composition. This failed to build on the group’s initial impetus and after one final single, ‘Fade Away Maureen’, the group disbanded.
