Four Pennies

The Four Pennies started out as the Lionel Morton Four, taking their name from their singer, who had served as a choir boy in a cathedral in his hometown of Blackburn, Lancashire, England, during his youth.

The band -- not to be confused with the stateside recording artists of the same name -- also included Stoke-on-Trent native Mike Wilsh on piano, Oldham's Fritz Fryer on lead guitar, and Alan Buck of Brierfield on drums.

Morton, in addition to singing, played the rhythm guitar.
