The Fourmost

Some Details...

THE FOURMOST 60’s BAND

The Fourmost acheived fame under the management wing of Brian Epstein and had already been part of the boom of beat music in Liverpool, having played the famous Cavern club in 1961, long before the Beatles made their debut. After being auditioned by George Martin, they were signed to Parlophone Records, the same label as The Beatles. Two commercial Lennon / McCartney songs, "Hello Little Girl" and "I'm In Love" served as their initial a-sides, but the chirpy "A Little Lovin'" became the bands biggest hit on reaching N0.6 in April 1964. They were featured in the film "Ferry Cross The Mersey" which consolidated their position as one of the leading Liverpool groups.

The Fourmosts' later releases veered from Tamla Motown with an excellent version of the Four Tops' "Baby I Need Your Lovin'" to the music hall humour of George Formby (Aunt Maggies Remedy). With unfortunate death of Mike Millward in 1966, the band recruited Joey Bowers and this line up continued until the 70's when Billy Hatton and Dave Lovelady left the group. Brian O'Hara continued along with Bill Haiseman, until the early 80's before he moved on to the motor trade. On Brians' departure, Bill took over the reins and after various members, the current line-up is as follows:


Billy is the frontman and bass player of The Fourmost. Born and bred in Liverpool, he has played with and known all the merseybeat legends. He is THE face of The Fourmost and his easy going manner and scouse humour have made him a big hit with fans wherever the band has played.
