The Echoes

 
 
Members
 
Dave Burns - lead guitar
Tony Oakman - rhythm guitar
George Staff - rhythm guitar
Peter Oakman - bass
Bert Crome - drums

Laurie Jay - drums
Tony Collins - guitar
Les Smith - piano
Douggie Reece - bass guitar
Big Jim Sullivan - lead guitar
 
 
Formed in late 1959 in London as a necessity for a tour of the UK.
Tony Oakman, George Staff, Peter Oakman, Bert Crome were originally in The Spacemen Skiffle Group, with Joe Brown, and were only backing Chris Wayne whilst Brown was contracted to appear on television in 'Boy Meets Girls'. They later rejoined Joe Brown as his backing group The Bruvvers.
Dave Burns would briefly work with Wee Willie Harris in Italy before returning to rejoin The Echoes.
A second tour of the UK, this time supporting Gene Vincent, would require a new version of The Echoes. The Echoes would also be needed to back Gene Vincent on stage. Laurie Jay was available to play drums and the other members were drafted in from a band called The Dynamos who had previously backed Sonny Stewart.
During the tour Tony Collins had a car accident and was replaced by Big Jim Sullivan.
The Echoes regularly played live and backed other musicians on stage. They would later record for the Fontana and Philips labels and appeared on sessions for many solo artists. The lineup of the group changed many times over the years.
The Echoes disbanded in 1971.
Laurie Jay later went into artist management, becoming the manager for Billy Ocean and Shirley Bassey.
Peter Oakman would later play bass for Lonnie Donegan until Donegan's death in 2002.
