on with Paul's career
An invite to the Plainsman
 It wasn't long before Paul left the Dynamics, in response to an offer to join a new Wellington group The Measles in a residency at The Sorrento coffee bar.  On board were Bruno Lawrence, Neil Harrap and Puni Solomon (who was ex Ray Columbus and The Invaders).  The band was a tight unit, and they continued in a great relationship with the Sorrento's owner Johnny Koolman, an entreprenuer who also owned a gym and drove a pink cadillac.  He used to pick the boys up in the "Caddy" and take them off for waffles, syrup and hot chocolate often with The Librettos.

Whilst in Wellington, Paul received a letter from his good buddy Peter Hansen, and he decided to return to Christchurch and The Dynamics in order for the group to take up an offer to tour the country with "The Searchers, Peter and Gordon, Del Shannon, Eden Kane and Dinah Lee Tour", so he decided to quit The Measles and return to Christchurch to The Dynamics to prepare for the Starlift '64 Tour.

Over the course of that nationwide Starlift '64 tour, The Dynamics played at major venues in each
of New Zealand's main cities  —  Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Soon after the tour both Pete Ward and Peter Hansen left, and The Dynamics then became
The Secrets with a line-up consisting of Derek Wright (Lead), Paul Muggleston (Rhythm),
Gary Thain (Bass) and Wayne Allen (Drums).  They continued at The Plainsman until they
received a tempting offer from Prestige Promotions.
