Exodus, under the management of Amin Mohammed, began rehearsals with 25 players, their arranger Henry “Bendix” Cumberbatch, and using pans loaned to them by Rudolph Charles from the Desperadoes Steel Orchestra. Amin Mohammed, in the early stages of the band, mortgaged his house to buy instruments for the band.
