The Kinsey Report
The Shyannes/Cheyennes
When this group started in the early 60s it was originally called The Shyannes.
It was primarily a guitar-based rock band but over the years it evolved into a much more versatile band performing
a wider range of musical styles. The new progressive group changed its name to The Cheyennes.
The group performed widely throughout South Africa performing to all types of audiences of different racial
groups.
They recorded an album with The Fire Birds and Phillip Malela, as well as a number of singles which had limited
release.
The following line-up was the most stable
Henry 'Monks' Leggat on bass
Selwyn Harry on drums
Eugene 'Jik' Manick on sax
Babs Frank on lead guitar
Lance Saunders on keyboards
