	It wasn't long before Paul left the Dynamics, in response to an offer to join a new Wellington group The Measles in a residency at The Sorrento coffee bar.  On board were Bruno Lawrence, Neil Harrap and Puni Solomon (who was ex Ray Columbus and The Invaders).  The band was a tight unit, and they continued in a great relationship with the Sorrento's owner Johnny Koolman, an entreprenuer who also owned a gym and drove a pink cadillac.  He used to pick the boys up in the "Caddy" and take them off for waffles, syrup and hot chocolate often with The Librettos.
Whilst in Wellington, Paul received a letter from his good buddy Peter Hansen, and he decided to return to Christchurch and The Dynamics in order for the group to take up an offer to tour the country with "The Searchers, Peter and Gordon, Del Shannon, Eden Kane and Dinah Lee Tour", so he decided to quit The Measles and return to Christchurch to The Dynamics to prepare for the Starlift '64 Tour.

	During the course of the nationwide Starlift '64 tour The Dynamics played venues in NZ's main cities - Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Soon after the tour both Pete Ward and Peter Hansen left, and The Dynamics then became The Secrets.  The line-up then consisted of Derek Wright (Lead), Paul Muggleston (Rhythm), Gary Thain (Bass) and Wayne Allen (Drums).  They continued at The Plainsman until they received a tempting offer from Prestige Promotions.
