By 17 Ray Burton was appearing in Lee Gordon’s many legendary rock’n’roll shows at the Sydney Stadium in Rushcutters Bay. In 1961 he joined the Dave Bridge Quartet as a rhythm guitarist. After leaving that band he formed instrumental band The Telstars in Sydney with drummer Sunny Pratt (ex Vibratones), rhythm guitarist Bob Van Eckeres and a bass player whose name is forgotten. Please help. The band signed to the CBS label and released five singles all produced by Sven Libaek between 1963 and 64. Burton composed his songs under the name Ray Doughty. 'Reef Ride’ was the most successful reaching #1 in Switzerland.
