A tidy, clean cut group from Newcastle, who were popular locally. They won the Battle of The Bands in 1968, but having formed in 1966 split up in 1968.

A popular Newcastle band built up a slightly bigger following than their arch-rivals the 'Velvet Underground', because they were banned from less venues than the 'Velvet Underground' were. Whereas the 'Velvets' were long haired rebels to the parents, the 'Michael Scott Group' were reasonably clean and tidy, compared to the scruffy and unkempt 'Velvets'.
