We have just heard the very sad news that Johnny ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson has passed away. For many, Johnny and his band, The Big 3, defined the Cavern sound.

Another great Mersey Beat legend has left the stage. Our sincere condolences to Johnny’s family and friends. RIP Hutch. pic.twitter.com/m7Mg3kbj9f
