Bari and the Breakaways were a mid 60s teenage R&B group featuring Midge Marsden .
In 1965 they signed to HMV Records and their first single was a cover of the Who's "I Can't Explain", backed with a copy of the Kinks "Long Tall Shorty". A second single, a copy of Frankie Ford's "Sea Cruise", backed with "Tough Enough" was released in October 1965. "Sea Cruise" was the groups biggest and most well known hit. After what had been a very successful year, Midge Marsden was called up for compulsory military service and Bari decided to leave the group to get married. Bari's last single was a Swinging Blue Jeans song called "Old Man Mose". Dave and Bryan recruited Dave Hurley to replace Bari. They shortened their name to just the Breakaways and played in Nelson for a while until Midge rejoined them and they moved on to Christchurch. They finished recording their first album in May 1966. It was released as "Let's Take A Sea Cruise With The Breakaways" and included songs from Bari's era. Other singles were recorded, "A Travelled Man" and "Despair", and in December 1966 the "Album Two" was released. The group finally broke up by mid 1967.
