Melvin Williams sent an e-mail and this stunning photograph of Billy on the tour bus, taken outside the Colston Hall in Bristol about 1963/64. He has also sent the photo of Marty Wilde taken at the stage door below R.

He has given permission for us to print them here and in the magazine where they will be bigger. Please feel free to copy them for personal use (not very high res) but strictly not for commercial use. Mel worked as Billy's stand in on 'I've Gotta Horse.

The photograph on the left below was sent by Michael Parkinson who also worked on Ive 'Gotta Horse', standing in for one of the Gamblers who was ill.
The photograph was taken in Great Yarmouth during a summer season, probably 1962. Can you name everybody? (Just for fun)
