On this day, The Walker Brothers played at the Capitol Theatre, Cardiff, as part of a package that included The Troggs, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch plus Cloda Rogers, The Montanas and The Quotations.
Formed in 1964, they adopted the 'Walker Brothers' name as a show business touch even though the members were all unrelated — "simply because we liked it."They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion by achieving much more success in the United Kingdom than in their home country, a period when the popularity of British bands such as The Beatles dominated the U.S. charts.
