Wayne Gibson & The Dynamic Sounds

Wayne Gibson & The Dynamic Sounds were the brain-child of Shel Talmy. The band were originally known as The Tornadoes and released at least 6 singles, of which 4 were rumoured to be Talmy productions. Of these only 'Kelly' (co-written by Del Shannon and another track to feature the talents of young Jimmy Page on guitar), made the charts, scraping in at No.48 in 1964. Despite being the regular backing band on the BBC Television program "Beat Room", the band split in 65 but not before releasing a version of “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead” from “The Wizard Of Oz” as a single. Originally known as the Tornadoes, this short-lived British group was formed by bass player Ray Rogers. Completed by Wayne Gibson (vocals), Mike Todd (lead guitar), Peter Cook (organ) and Larry Cole (drums)
