FORMER bands from the Sixties stage a memorial concert for Dave 'Mushy' Cooper at the Hotel Vic, New Brighton, on Sunday evening, June 21, featuring many of his friends from the Mersebeat scene.

They include Kansas City 5, The Undertakers, The Dresdens, Cliff Roberts and The Rockers, Bob Evans' Five Shillings plus The Black Knights. Pay at the door.

Merseycat Allan Schroeder, of Leasowe, is organising the charity concert. Faron, of Faron's Flamingoes, who lives in Liverpool, on hearing about the concert says he hopes there will be a big turn out. Faron is currently waiting to have a pacemaker fitted following previous heart operations.
