I had formed a home-made acoustic guitar my brother experienced made.” A pal of Advantage was one Pete Wiggins, who discovered Molland working in a delivery organization, “steamships and stuff” the vocalist/guitarist emphasized. While on a lunch time break, Wiggins asked Joe Molland if he still performed acoustic guitar. When he replied within the affirmative, Wiggins required him to some pub to execute. “I had been 16 or 15 at that time, I visited the golf club and I performed a couple of Chuck Berry tunes with this music group, and they offered me a pound!
