Soul Distinction  —  1969-73.  Seen here at the Christchurch Battle Of The Bands 1969
Rob Wilson (Drums), Mark Loeffen (Bass Guitar), Vern Park (Vocals), Ian MacDonnell (Lead Guitar), Dave Graham (Hammond Organ)

A notable Christchurch-based band performing covers of the day, started out gigging at dances, youth clubs, weddings, parties etc. and then went on to the pub scene.  Mark Loeffen and Vern Park had formerly played in the Christchurch band The Heritage.  They had many line-up changes over the years including Adrian Cook (Bass), Ian Stewart, Richard Stewart, Richard Carr (Lead Guitar) in the latter years.  Research suggests that the band still existed as late as 1977.
