The Roadrunners

... the family tree

This is an extract from the book "The Beatles and Some Other Guys - Rock Family Trees of the Early 60s" by Pete Frame, published by Omnibus Press, 1997. ISBN 0 7119 3665 X. Price £12.95. Highly recommended for anyone into the Liverpool scene of the 60s. (Also includes details of other UK R&B bands of the time, plus several Liverpool bands from the 80s.) Buy it!

Did you know that there were over 350 bands performing on Merseyside in the early 60s? Approximately 80 of them are documented in this excellent book, with Pete Frame's usual love and care.

Oh yes, there's also information on some band called the Beatles.

Sorry if there's a lack of image clarity, but it was a compromise between that and getting the file down to a manageable size! (In case you're confused by the mysterious Nick La Grec, it was a stage name used by Nick Carver.)
