Chicken Shack was a leading band of the late-'60s British blues revival, but it is best remembered for pianist/singer Christine Perfect, who later became better known as Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. Stan Webb, Andy Sylvester, and Perfect played together in a Birmingham band, the Shades of Blue, in 1965. That band broke up when Perfect completed art college and moved to London. She later met up with Webb and Sylvester, and they regrouped as Chicken Shack, adding Bidwell. They made their U.K. debut at the Windsor Blues Festival in August 1967. There Perfect met her future husband, John McVie of Fleetwood Mac.

Andy and Stan had some gigs, but they didn't have anyone on bass, so she joined them and she went to school. She finished getting her teaching degree after they broke up.
