1960s
In the early 1960s, he was in a band from an Auckland called Papakura. The band was called Four Quarters. Later he was bass player in a group from Clevedon, just outside of Auckland called The Clevedonaires. Other members were Ron and Graham Brown on guitar and drums and sister Gaye playing keyboards. In 1966, they were signed by Benny Levin to his record label, Impact. After releasing a few singles they were set to go to Vietnam to entertain the troops. As the Vietnam War was escalating their promoter didn't guarantee them return tickets. So they went to Australia instead. They did quite well and eventually became a group called Bitch. Aickin came back to New Zealand in the mid-1970s.
In 2015, he was interviewed for the NZ Musician magazine about his days with The Clevdonaires and Bitch. It was published in the June/July issue.
