Christchurch group Chapta evolved in 1969 out of the remnants of the Next Move. They made appearances on Christchurch Television's Moving pop series. Line-up changes included Kevin Bayley on lead guitar, replacing Baker and then Dave Kennedy replaced him on guitar and vocals. Ledley Cleland replaced Stan White before being replaced himself by Peter Gillette on keyboards. Les Inwood left around the same time as Doug Baker. Peter was also a member of Peter Nelson and the Castaways as well as having a stint with Footsteps and later playing with Moviez. Sharon O'Neill was also a member of the group for a short time. Kevin Tonycliffe was a member of Tomorrow's Love back in 1967.
Two albums were recorded, "Chapta One" in 1971 and "Open Door" in 1972. "Show The World", the lead track of the "Open Door" album was their entry in the 1972 Studio One Television Series. Chapta folded soon after that, with Dave Kennedy going on to form Link.
