Discography
Parlophone RS 216 (UK)] Released : 1965
I'm Not Running Away / So Sweet

Memorable for the dazzling introduction disputedly by Jeff Beck and the guitar work of “Big Jim” Sullivan.     

Below: This great record of gigs in May/June 1965. Many muso's will well remember many of the gigs. Did you get as well paid as the band?

Memories

I saw them many times at "The Flamingo Club" in Farnworth, with Eddie Earl compering. They were great.Was very sad to learn of Mike's passing a few years ago. Watched him in "The Colours" at "The Welcome" in Little Hulton just before he passed away.
