Mandrake was a Hamilton band from the late 1960s and/or early 1970s that included Chris Thompson (guitar), Ivan Thompson (keyboards), Jackie Porima (bass) and Neil Storey (drums). Larry Abbott also drummed for the band for a short time. The band moved to Auckland where they had residency at Grannies Nightclub. After Mandrake split up, Chris Thompson moved to the UK where he joined Manfred Mann's Earth Band, while Ivan Thompson and Storey became early members of Dragon.
