TOMMY & The DELMONTS

BIOGRAPHY:

Act from the early 1960's featuring Rod Harley (bass), Jim Marshall (guitar), Barry & Tommy, who won a competition in early 1964 at Camelon Golf Club organised by local businessman, Peter Fallon. The prize was a week recording in London with EMI, Decca, & Pye, and the band took Bill Hasting (guitar, ex-Forthbeats) along for the trip. Travelling to London by coach, the band were also given a brief tour of EMI studios, missing the Beatles by a few minutes. They did, however, witness Gerry & The Pacemakers recording "You'll Never Walk Alone" in an adjoining studio. Soon afterwards Hastings joined The Pack, whilst Marshall moved to Germany with Manuela & The Dops.
