Playlist by Algernon
Beat music spread outside Liverpool though the influence was more R&B and later just Blues. Local beat scenes were found in places like Birmingham, Belfast, Newcastle and London. R&B bands benefited from beat music as well. By 1965, beat music was in decline with many bands disbanding or changing direction by 1967.

If you take Keith Richards out of the Stones they become a very ordinary band.

It could be said you take a person out of a particular band they’d be ordinary.

Yes, but the one Keith solo album I have is not a great letter home.

Great Playlist, Algy. Big fan of so many of these groups – and good to see Thorpy and the Easies in the list.
Manfred Mann’s Do-Wag Diddy Diddy was my second single – after the Sunray’s “I Live for the Sun”

It was 1966 and I was a pimply 13 year old 🙂

I thought the two Australian entries were worth including. Thorpy of course went on to become a hard rocker in the 70’s, The Easies of course broke up after a few years.
Manfred Mann is still about but under the guise of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

Manfred Mann did a great job with Dylan’s mighty Quinn too.
Maybe 15 years ago I was working in Cairns for a couple of days and I saw / heard Thorpe play at the now defunct Johnnos. Man, he was spoilt for choice amongst vintage babes at that gig. I reckon the barman and I were the only other blokes in attendance.
And for the Internet record I was not the one who canned a fish that Thorpy rejected despite Thorpy and his LA band playing one of his later tunes “Southern Comfort” and increasing the supply of wobbygongs.
