Comment on GARY EDWARDS COMBO, Franz Liszt Twist, 1962 by Howard Williams

Hi Kieth, my name is Howard Williams and I was a vocalist with a few bands in the 60,s
including The Searchers (The late Micky Gee on lead) and The SOUTHERNERS (took over from Joey Escott when he went to London with Joey & the gentlemen).I was very friendly with a guy from Newport called Billy Young who had a group called the Midnighters and used to play at the Graig youth club in Bassaleg. Billy later joined THE SOLID SIX which was a top band in Cardiff in those days. They later turned pro as the GARY EDWARDS COMBO and was led by
Gary(Duffy)Cooper who is the grandfather of Charlotte Church. I later was the Manager of a band called the Chevrons who were regulars at the Majestic on Stow Hill.
