“what an utterly UGLY bunch of blokes!”

(“gerry and the pacemakers” were an ‘english beat group’ prominent in the 1960s ‘merseybeat’ scene)
(in common with ‘the beatles’, they came from ‘liverpool’, were managed by ‘brian epstein’, and were recorded by ‘george martin’)
(they are most remembered for being the first act to reach #1 in the ‘UK singles chart’ with their first 3 single releases: “how do you do it?”, “i like it” and “you’ll never walk alone”)
(this record was not equaled for ’20 years’, until the mid-1980s success of fellow liverpool band ‘frankie goes to hollywood’)
(consequently, they stand as the ‘2nd most successful pop group originating in ‘liverpool”)
(another of their most famous songs, “ferry cross the mersey”, refers to the ‘river mersey’ that flows into ‘liverpool’)
