The energy on the Searchers live at the Starclub is incredible. They have always been an excellent live band. Love their superb punchy 60s records. Every member could sing , and all sang lead at one time or another. Saw them first at the London Palladium supporting the Everly Brothers, then '79 & '80 at the Venue in Victoria during the Sire years. I met all four in '84 at Blazers Windsor. I'll always love this band, so many great records other than hits on albums & B-sides etc. They truly were one of the Best bands who arrived during the early 60s.

It was nice to see this. Frank actually lived two doors down from me in Hayes when I was a young kid. He got the Beatles autograph for my mother, and signed the fan club photo too. I remember everyone on the street liking him.

Take this in ! Bruce Springsteen was on tour in U.K. staying in a Hotel in Manchester, he loved the unique guitar sound of the Searchers, wanted to meet John Mac, phone call was duly made and John obliged ! word has it Bruce was like a kid in a Candy Shop when John explained how it was made !

I'm a singer songwriter over here in Canada heavily influenced by the Beatles and the whole Mersey Beat Sound and the first three albums I ever listened to when I was eight years old were albums Twist and Shout by the Beatles,Meet The Searchers by the Searchers and Surfing USA by the Beach Boys and I liked the Searchers album as much as I did the Beatles!,I actually felt guilty over that,simply they all had a fantastic sound,without those three bands I never would have picked up a guitar!

They play in Albury, New South Wales when they tour out here. Still sounding good.

I saw The Searchers in Australia in late 90s or early 2000, but I remember only one of the original members was there. Still sounded the same. Sadly, they had no CDs left for sale after the show.

What a great group and what great news to know that they are still touring! Knock em dead guys!

@MrRoadster100 2 месяца назад

There was a common phrase being thrown around in the early to mid 60s ---- "the Liverpool sound", meaning, that bands from Liverpool all sounded a certain way. However, Paul McCartney once said in an interview that each group from Liverpool had its own unique sound and around 5:15 John Mac seemed to confirm that and stated that they just let each musician play his own instrument and didn't actually plan the band's sound.

The Searcher’s Needles and Pins single record sleeve was white with red script which read, “This is the group that knocked the Beatles out of first place in England. “

@andydixon2980 4 месяца назад

Always thought The Searchers had a great sound, harmonies and some decent songs. Great production too.

@andysummers9507 4 месяца назад

Sadly the three main singers Tony Jackson, Mike Pender and Chris Curtis are no longer in The Searchers with Tony and Chris sadly having passed away. Today's line up don't represent the sound of the original line up but they are keeping the fans happy by performing still and that's the main thing.

@Wench64 4 месяца назад

Miss the 50s 60s and 70s music, all about love and looking into each other's eyes, now it's sex and killing, no clothes and not as nicely dressed, now kids don't know how to dress, girls are no longer feminine

@KM-ABZ 4 месяца назад

Brilliant stuff, keep it going lads 👏👍🏻

@mrbillhicks 2 месяца назад

Is it true that Ken Bruce is only 5ft tall ?

@neilkennedy5307 3 месяца назад

Inappropriate for Allen to be criticising Tony Jackson particularly when he wasn't an original member. As John McNally was trying to say.........TJ was a great lad and an important component of the band
