Winslow Six

Winslow Six has been in the Sri Lankan music seen since mid-1960's. In 1972 the first album was introduced to Sri Lankan audiences. It was a family group that hailed from Moratuwa which comprised of five girls and one boy: Manella, Mellony, Liwan, Nelanie, Eromie and Winslow. That year they recorded their album under the Sooriya label which included 4 songs. The two Sinhalese songs Duwa Roshi and Ran Monaru reached the top ten list in the Sinhala Hit Parade at that time. The group had many stage performances in selected venues which included the Sooriya shows at the Nawa Ranga Hala. After about 4 years the group drifted apart as studies and professions took them on different courses. Some of the members went on to create individual records.
