Are they using the Beatles' amps?

Don't think so. The name on the amp says 'The Pressmen'.
Here's some more photos from the audition, and the story:

What do we know about The Pressmen?? I can't find anything at Bill Harry's books...
Were they the resident band at Wyvern Club in 1960?? :shock:
Best regards, ;)

One of the early bands of Derrie Wilkie. Later to become Derrie and the Seniors.

Aha... Thank you!! ;)
But the fact is in that historical day (=1960, May the 10th.: Larry Parness audition at Wyvern Club) some of the amps bear the inscription 'The Pressmen'. Does this mean, then, that Derry & The Seniors had already changed their name from The Pressmen, but not still on the amps?? :shock:

Seems I'm wrong: http://mersey-beat.com/archives/derrywilkie.shtml
But then again: can't it be just the name of the amplifier brand that's on there?
