Biography :

The three singers, known as The Angels, are Walter Teskey, Brian Shane and Werner Frank. Walter sings the lead, Brian sings the baritone backing and Werner plays the guitar and provides the tenor backing. They started for fun at Nancy's Inn, a restaurant in the north end of Winnipeg in 1957. The boys have worked with several big-name artists since 1958. They did shows with Billy O'Connor and Conway Twitty in Toronto and with Buddy Knox in Winnipeg. They appeared on television's Talent Caravan and have played many engagements in Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg night-clubs. In 1960, the boys do their own arranging on the two songs on their first record, two songs written by Walter. The release of their first record was planned before Christmas 1960 on the Columbia label. Unfortunately it seems that the disc did not come out (No trace of The Angels on Columbia ?).
