Thanks for that. Three days notice, eh? They moved fast in those days... On another question, it was a surprise was to find out George Martin had worked with the Goons.
Little bit of a story here ----We ( The Big Three ) were playing a couple of gigs with the Beatles as this change of drummer was going on. Pete was really p----- off with them and refused to play the remaining gigs untill Ringo was available. Our drummer ( Johnny Hutch) stood in with them for a few nights, only after being asked to do it by Brian Epstein. Hutch thought Pete had got the shaft and didn't want to play with them untill Eppy stepped in. Griff
But what could they say to him?
