Following hard on the heels of Merseybeat was the harder, bluesier British Beat Groups. In 1964/5 it seemed that there was another great band coming out every single week.
I liked some of the more obscure ones like the Downliners Sect, Birds, Undertakers, Others, Measles and Paramounts.
My favourites were:
Rolling Stones (obviously)
Yardbirds
Who
Smallfaces
Kinks
Others
Downliners Sect
Animals
Prettythings
Them
Measles
Paramounts
Manfred Mann
Bo Street Runners
Nashville Teens
Birds
Undertakers
Graham Bond Organisation
Blues Incorporated
The Sorrows
Johnny Kidd & the Pirates
Poets
There’s one group you forgot. I can’t recall the name, but Paul McCartney was in it.
I put them in with the Mersey Bands Bumba.
OK. Just wanted to make sure.
