Shadows guitarist booted off BGT

[Monty]

yes but the 'boy bands' and 'girl bands' DON'T play any instruments, just prance about, faces a glow, and do tend to come in batches of 'Five' as did all those I mentioned

younger artists who CAN play their own instruments are of little interest/use to mogols like Simon Cowell etc...

as for The Big Three - yes a far wilder...and at one point far bigger...act in Liverpool than The Beatles were

Johnny Gustafson besides being in a later version of The Pirates (I have that album 'Still Shakin') later played bass for The Mersybeats (for a time) & Roxy Music later on

Decca apparently 'wiped' an entire LP of The Big Three leaving just four songs for an EP release...

The way this thread has gone, it's clearly run it's course and the last few posts have become irrelevant to Steve's performance, that said I think it's time to let it subside so I am locking it. I started it in support of Steve and it has drifted somewhat.
If you wish to continue discussing The Big Three etc,you are welcome to start a new thread.
