Sad news. I saw the Moodies at the City Hall when they were the support act for the Beatles in December 1965......

Mike Pinder - the name (different spelling) took me straightaway to The Searchers - Mike Pender.

Obviously known for so much more but Go Now is one of my stand out favourite records from the Sixties.


Terrific cover of the original by Bessie Banks.
