Not Beatles but close enough. Iris Caldwell getting married to Shane Fenton (later Alvin Stardust). Behind them are Alan Caldwell (aka Rory Storm, Iris’ brother), Raymond Howard (aka Duffy Power) and Johnny Byrne (aka Johnny Guitar) in 1964. Scan from “The Best of Fellas: The Story of Bob Wooler” by Spencer Leigh.

L-R: Rory Storm (born Alan Caldwell), Johnny Guitar (born Johnny Byrne), Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey), Lu Walters (born Wally Eymond) at the Jive Hive (aka St. Luke’s Church Hall). 

Rory Storm with his girlfriend, Johnny Guitar with his girlfriend, Vi Caldwell, Paul and Dot. 

Not my scans but I just wanted to post them, because whenever I look at pictures of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes in action I just think I would have been such a fan of them. I’d have gone to every gig. 

Just look at Johnny Guitar in that first one! I’d have been such a front-row fangirl.
