The four original members were all Hull University students who formed the group in October 1963. It consisted of Sylvia Tatler (vocals) (born 1945, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire), Mike Ramsden (guitar and vocals) (born Michael John Ramsden, 21 June 1943, Totnes, Devon), Ivor Aylesbury (guitar and vocals) (born 1943, Surrey) and Kevin Cunningham (double bass) (born John Kevyn Cunningham, 1940, Liverpool, Lancashire). Their very first recording was a flexi disc that was produced in 1964 for the Hull University Rag Week. This disc consisted of 3 tracks, one side featuring "John Henry" and "All My Sorrows" with "Blood Red River" on the other side. They were most at home performing folk-style cover versions of songs, especially Bob Dylan compositions. Following graduation in 1964, they spent the whole summer working at the Devon Coast Country Club in Paignton, Devon, where they also performed most evenings on stage in the ballroom. Coincidentally, another musician also working there at the same time was Liverpudlian Rod Pont (1942–2000), whose last band (Steve Day and the Drifters) had already played at The Cavern alongside The Beatles and had just split up following a stint at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg during the previous autumn.
Taking its inspiration from the Celtic legend of the Selkie, the novel describes a race of apparent humans with the ability to change into other forms. One, like the Selkie of legend, can live underwater. Another can survive and travel unprotected in outer space. In all three forms the Silkies can wield mental powers over energy to some degree.
After a prologue which purports to explain the origin of the Silkies as an experiment in genetic manipulation, the action moves forward over a hundred years to a future in which the Silkies are numerous and live on Earth. Humanity has assimilated them by means of the Special People, who can establish telepathic rapport with the Silkies. All Silkies are male, and most are married to women of the Special People. They are employed as police in space, and most are comfortable with that role. One dedicated Silkie, Nat Cemp, encounters three different alien races, and with each encounter he gains more powers and learns more about the true nature of the Silkies, and of the Universe.
Watch the ocean rolling in, Moonlight tripping off the waves, Along the bays. Like a mirror between the worlds, I catch the reflection of a star, But it slips through my fingers. Then out from the water, From out of the waves, Two eyes are looking at me. (Chorus 1) Oh, I want to go to the sea again, Oh, where the Selkies dance and I don't feel alone. Oh, I want to go to the sea again. Water dripping from flowing hair, White horses gallop upon the shore, Then canter once more, Leave your skin upon the beach, Free your mind and dance with me. Within the sea. I turn back to look at the places I know, But my Selkie Woman calls to me, And I go. So I run into the waves, where my Selkie is waiting for me, And together we swim. She takes me into her world, Where I am her King and she is my Queen, I have always lived here. What could awake me from out of this sleep, Could that be the dawning Sun? No, No! (Chorus 2) Oh, I want to go to the sea again, Oh, where the Selkies dance and I don't feel alone.
