There was an Accy group named the Blue Diamonds with a lead singer called Ken who was an Elvis lookalike.

I think the guitarist was Gordon Holmes Margaret, Stuart was his older Brother who was a driving instructor, I thick Gordon still lives on Hornby Street in Ossy, or he did up to a couple of years ago, Frank Ishewood lives on Edinburgh Drive and worked behind the bar in the Stop and Rest for years, may still do

I remember now - 'Gordon' - you are right.
I heard that Jack Groves is living in Fence nr Padiham.
Ken Booth (Elvis lookalike) died young - his sister told me a few years ago
