Frank with his Grazioso, again at the "Clay Pigeon", Eastcote. To his left is Brian St George, playing Frank's Club 50.
Brian St George left the Skyways and joined Cliff Bennett in 1960. He then left in 1961, at which stage Frank joined Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers, taking over on rhythm from Brian (and also taking on the payments on his `61 Strat!!), until he changed to bass, still with the Rebel Rousers, in 1962.
In 1964, Frank joined the
Searchers, with whom he has been performing on bass and vocals ever since.
