Marty Wilde, 1959

"The Silver Beetles" audition for Larry Parnes, spring 1960

Larry Parnes (right) watches the audition with singers Duffy Power and Billy Fury.

They were hired to tour Scotland backing up singer Johnny Gentle....only to be stiffed on their pay!

The Floyd Dakil "Combo", as they are now known.
