When I was young, she mentioned the band quite often and seemed to be very happy when she was there. There was not much else I can remember, she passed in 1981. I was under the impression they performed often. My mother had a full time day job in the civil service in the steno pool, as I am sure all the other ladies (save Theresa) had. I believe Theresa Khoo formed the band, the first all girl's band playing non classical music in 1960. I was born in 1962, which might have been the reason my mother left the band. LOL. She was a member of the Seck family, which at that time owned Seasons music store on North Bridge Road. Its interesting to note that Theresa was apparently an open minded person, having accepted a Malay singer Zainab Majid into the Blue Belles which up till that time was all chinese girls.
