General Assembly were from Nashville, USA
They seemed to be led by a guy called Larry Perigo.
Born in Nashville, TN. Larry Perigo started playing guitar at 9 years old and took up the violin while in 4th grade. He began a singing career in bands in 1963. He was later encouraged by a band member to give the saxophone a try. This resulted in him becoming a part of several local favorite bands throughout the 60‘s. In 1969 his band (The General Assembly Show) became a part of the Phil Harris Show in the main showroom at a Las Vegas hotel which featured the Harry James Orchestra and Frank Sinatra, Jr. This proved to be a great learning experience. After returning to Nashville he started The Headliners and they performed their first date on April 23, 1973 as a four piece band. It had immediate popularity in Nashville and was called to do another show with Phil Harris at the Fairmont Hotel in New Orleans this time featuring the Pete Fountain Orchestra. The Headliners also did shows in a Las Vegas lounge.
