Roy Purden and the Telstars

[George Geddes]

My son is looking for information about a band of this name. He thinks they were late 50s, but as the Telstar satellite was not launched until 1962, it would seem more likely they were early 60s.

Nothing turning up on Google.

I think it was Iain Purdon and the Telly Stars.
