Bassist and singer; founding member of the Fourmost -- via the Guardian. A Liverpudlian, he was in the same kindergarten class with Ringo Starr and Billy Fury, and he stopped John Lennon from beating up the Cavern Club's DJ once. Their first single, "Hello Little Girl," was an early Lennon-McCartney original.
