The band was formed by amateur musicians in Szeged (in the south of Hungary) in 1964. They won several domestic contests in the 1960s, the result of which was a number of recordings made for the Hungarian Radio. Throughout the years both the Hungarian Radio and Television has engaged them in different music programmes, the most important having been a 40-minute film featuring their songs. Since 1972 they have been playing at festivals of the world initially under the name Szeged Oldtimers, and they have performed with the like of Fatty George, Eddy Davis, Tony Scott, Joe Muranyi, Jon Mortimer, Ian Wheeler, Marcel Zanini, Irakli and Theis Jensen. They cut their first record in 1978, which was followed by 9 others, including 4 CDs, to the present day. In 1998 they founded an event named the Dóm Dixie Gala within the framework of the prestigious Szeged Open Air Festival. They have won several prizes, including the eMeRTon Prize in 2001, and their home town has acknowledged their work in 1994 by awarding the band with the Pro Urbe Prize, then in 1996 they receive the "For Szeged" Prize, and in 2004, on their 40th anniversary, they were honoured with the Golden Medal of the City of Szeged.
