The Operation Hungerstop "Twisters Ball '64" came along in November of that year and was held at The King Alfred Ballroom.  The Giants and local band The Chimes performed to a sell-out crowd, the Miss Teenage Brighton contest also took place, and everyone involved had a great time.

In the same month, Trevor and John turned out at the Greyhound Stadium Hove for the "Brighton Beat Groups versus the Showbiz X1" charity football match, also for Operation Hungerstop.  England and Spurs centre forward Bobby Smith led the Beat Group Team, which lost!

In January '65, The Giants went into the R.G. Jones recording studios in Morden.  Among several tracks laid down that day were "Monkey Time" and "Without You", recorded for EMI producer Norrie Paramor.  The song "Monkey Time", a popular and often requested soul number from The Giants’ stage act, was not considered commercial enough for EMI and was not released.
