The Richmond Group by no means made it beyond your confines of Liverpool, but inside the confines of this city’s second wave of fresh acts, post-Beatles in 1963-64, these were among the greater exciting stage acts. The band-vocalists Dave Kerrigan and Eddie Cave (who’d previously fronted a Liverpool music group known as The Fyx), lead guitarist Barry David, tempo guitarist Barry Wheldon, bassist Howie Jones, and drummer Pete Taylor-were mainly within their mid-teens and, evidently inspired from the Beatles, also published original materials, principally from Kerrigan, Cave, and David. In addition they performed r&b like their lives depended onto it, doing tense, energetic renditions of Bo Diddley-style figures with unique aplomb.
