Formed in Bexley Heath, Kent in late 1963, The Loose Ends were fronted by Lahore-born singer Alan Marshall and his bass playing cousin Rick Marshall. The group released the superb freakbeat version of George Harrison’s “Taxman” plus rare cover of Moody Blues’ track “Send The People Away”.

Saw The Loose Ends at The El Partido near Lewisham
In early/mid sixties. They were good …. really good
Liked the club as well….. the girls were always up for some hot kissing.
