Tamworth Herald 29th January 1965
Four ginger-men and a ginger-woman will be ripping it up!
Tamworth Youth Centre's own beat group The Gingermen will be ripping it up at Stafford tomorrow night.
As representatives of the Lichfield, Tamworth and Uttoxeter Youth Area they are taking part in the Staffs Service of Youth County Beat Competition.
With their singer, Denise Walker, who will be rocking out Chuck Berry's "Monkey Business" and the Lennon-McCartney number "PS I Love You" on the night, drummer Graham Titley, bass guitarist Bob Heath, lead guitarist Dave Bates and Colin Stokes on rhythm will all be turned in to bring the top prize back to Tamworth.
But after the competition things will be different. Dave Pierepoint who bears a remarkable all-round resemblance to the "Stone" himself, Mick Jagger, will be taking over the singing spot but since he has only been with the group just over a week he was unable to rehearse sufficiently for the competition.
After the competition, Dave Pierepoint will be taking the singing (Dave bears a remarkable resemblance to the ‘Stone’ himself, Mick Jagger). But, he has only been with the group a week and was therefore unable to rehearse sufficiently for the competition.
