    Dead Drummers

    Before Phil Fearon became Galaxy, he was in a band called Kandidate, a band who had a few minor hits and one top twenty in the late 1970s. A band I might add who don't appear to have a Wiki page! Anyhow, the drummer for that band was Lloyd Phillips, who has died according to this announcement from his brother Paul (member of Hi Tension): Also an accomplished producer and songwriter. Was involved in mixing on Sinead O'Connor's The Lion And The Cobra. UK #11 April/May 1979 I Don't Wanna Lose You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdQ7cDYvliA

    @Ulitzer95 Bit more success with The Bruvvers (my interest really stems from Bobby Graham, who was asked to replace Pete Best in The Beatles). Here is Pete Oakman's homepage history link which also has some timeline: http://www.peteroakman.com/history.html Says Pete Oakman left the group in December 1963, Brian Dunn had also left and it looks like by 1964 (when the hits dried up) there was a whole new backing band, none of whom I can give any help on, but for this thread that doesn't really matter!

    Not sure if this is of much help, but this link will take you to a site which references a Brian Dunn (born March 1940, died 7 September 2015) and has a pic of the Bruvvers with their names underneath as of circa 1962. http://www.wharfbeat.co.uk/wharfbeat_041.htm and Bobby Graham mentioned as drummer by then. Given this is around the time the session musos left and the band was formally formed, this is probably the line-up for follow-up hits (though no guarantee these bods were not just the face of the band). Brian Dunn's Obit here: https://www.northyorkshirenews.com/whats-on/music/tribute-to-harrogate-s-brian-dunn-he-helped-build-early-british-rock-n-roll-1-7467212, references him appearing on several hits. Now all you need to do is watch the live performances of all the hits by Joe Brown and the Bruvvers to see if there were any other changes, subsequent to the 1962 line-up.

    Gawd bless her, appeared on early non-hits and the first album Meet The Supremes, which she never even got on the cover as she had left to have her family. Might have appeared on some backing tracks for other artists though.

    I think I will have to leave it to the end. Might lead to some huge last minute swings, but hey, it'll be more exciting!

    Deathlist Correctlist 2020

    Hmm. Dean picked 9 hits. By my reckoning on the system, he needs to get 4 correct hits to be 5 out. Now what you are suggesting is that it doesn't matter how many hits a player predicts correctly (i.e. Correctlist), the actual number of hits determines whether the penalty is removed. Now that becomes incredibly complex. Incredibly. I think it's only fair if the correctly predicted number of hits falls within the actual number, and certainly the rules can be read that way. What say you? Will it matter?

    UK Singles Chart

    @Ulitzer95 If you expand the blurb below the YouTube link you have given for I'll Take You Home by Cliff and the Rebel Rousers, it tells you the line up for that song. Now, if only we could find a live version of that, we'd be able to cross reference with the live versions of the other two singles which are up. I'd suggest that as the only sax players listed for the group, Moss Groves and Sid Phillips are on all the singles. Looks like Mick Burt on drums as early as their first hit, definitely played on the last two. Good luck with the rest.

    Yeah, some of these are the proverbial nightmare. One thing is for sure - Frank Allen left Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers before the latter's first hit, Allen being firmly ensconced in The Searchers by August 1964.
