ReplyDeleteThanks Lewis. I have updated the post with your information. Sorry it took so long.
DeleteHi Lewis, could you double check in the family about which one in the photo is Les? Cheers.
DeleteHow is it even possible that History seems to have totally forgotten the Bassist !?!??!?- - even though we have his fricking photograph!! ,,, these guys supported The Beatles on their very last gig at The Cavern ,,, which makes them LEGENDARY : tinyurl.com/2zc4vufp
ReplyDeleteHi, my dad was Fred Fargher. The bass player was usually just called "Miffy" but we think his full name was John Smith. That's the name Manfred Kuhlmann gives him in the book "Beat Waves 'Cross the Mersey" too. All the best.
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, the photo above shows (from left to right): Les, Miffy, Fred, Derek
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input Tony. According to Lewis Holt his grandad Les is on the far right.
