The Hideaways (band)

The Hideaways (band)

The Hideaways were a pop group that flourished in the mid-1960s as part of the Merseybeat era, and played at The Cavern Club over 250 times, more frequently than The Beatles; they are also noted for their connection to the Timex Watches advertising campaign of the time. The band included Ozzie Yue, later to become a well-known actor and Frankie Connor, now a BBC Radio Merseyside DJ.

Career

The band formed in about October 1963 by Ozzie Yue (guitar, vocals), John Shell (bass guitar) and John Donaldson (drums); Frankie Connor joined three months later, followed by Judd Lander on harmonica.cite web | url = http://www.mayfield-records.co.uk/timb3esn.pdf | title = This Is Mersey Beat (3): Blues, Folk & Beatnicks | date = 2002 | accessdate = 2008-06-30]

In 1969, under the name of "Confucious", they released their only single ‘The Brandenburg Concerto’.

Shell, American by birth, would later die in the Vietnam War aged twenty.
