A Few words from Terry
I wouldn't have missed for anything the explosion of Rock n Roll music in the fifties and all the great pop music that would follow .There is such an affection for those golden oldies from people of my generation so nowadays I take great pleasure in exploiting this to the full.
My Dad was a good old Yorkshire Miner (I became an ABC Minor) and Mum was a woollen mill worker before she became stricken with MS, when I was around five years old. They were called Joseph and Mary but I wasn't born in Bethlehem just plain old Wakefield. Where we lived with my two elder sisters Jean and Pat. Our Jean the eldest unfortunately wasn't a singer but here I have to give some credit to my sister Pat. Our fortunes as a skiffle to rock n roll group changed when 'our' Pat joined the group. She had the confidencence the voice and appeal that gave us our TV debut on 'Carol Leviss Discoveries' 1959 when I was a mere lad of sixteen.and also made us winners of the 1960 'Vocal Group Of The Year.
Thanks to winner of 1959 Vocal group of the year Emile Ford, with his guidance we were lucky to be placed under the management of his agency the Grade/Delfont organistion and were propelled into the thriving pop scene of the early 60s recording for Pye records and touring with Emile and the Checkmates along with all the great name artistes of the time.We were proud to be a support act for The Shadows on their first solo tour minus Cliff during which their 'FBI' hit was released.. After only a few months our group disbanded, I returned home doing normal day jobs for £5 per week . Meanwhile Pat (stage name Patti Brook) became established in the company of Cliff Richard and the Shadows around 1961 to 1963 doing Cliff and the Shad's summer season in Blackpool 1961and touring the UK. Patti actually did a duet with Cliff for the Young Ones soundtrack and recorded one of his rare compositions 'I Love You I need You' but Cliff was advised to use a writers pseudonym to avoid romance speculation. she also toured with Lonnie Donegan, Frankie Vaughen and Emile Ford.
