The Candy Choir was the renamed group known as Plus Four and the change of name came about in the mid-sixties when their music became predominantly 'west coast'. Much of the group's repertoire included Beach Boys, Jan & Dean and Four Seasons material. The original Plus Four line-up was Eddie Wheeler (lead guitar), Brian Hatt (rhythm guitar), Jim Hatt (bass) and Danny Beckett (drums). All four were vocalists providing a 'before their time' harmony quality.

In 1965 Jim Hatt decided to pursue other interests and he was replaced by Jon Pearce, formerly of the Cortinas and Bern Elliot's band The Klan.

Candy Choir were a recording session band as well as live performers and backed artists including Crispian St Peters, Johnny Kidd and Barry Ryan. Candy Choir toured the world working as Crispian St. Peters and Barry Ryan's backing band. Eddie Wheeler joined Vanity Fare.
