After the show we all went to an 'after hours' club where liquor was served very hush, hush in those days, especially for teenagers. One evening the Hollies were playing at the Twisted Wheel club and the Beatles were at the Oasis. They walked into the door and it was over they all looked like James Dean in black leather. When I worked in a coffee bar called the 2 Jays (later to be named The Oasis,) every girl wanted them. At this point Allan and I had not started the Hollies we didn't begin until '62.Įverybody, certainly every girl, knew the Beatles were going to be outrageously successful. On it were me and Allan Clarke who later formed the Hollies, a man named Freddy Garrity who formed Freddy and the Dreamers, a guy called Ron Wycherley who became Billy Fury and a group from Liverpool called Johnny and the Moondogs, later of course to become The Beatle.
I first met the lads in November of 1959 at a talent show at the Ardwick Empire Theater in Manchester. "Everybody, certainly every girl, knew the Beatles were going to be outrageously successful," writes Graham Nash.
