STEVE BRETT
Rare Original 1965 Columbia 7" Single
with Noddy Holder
Steve Davies (Brett) who grew up in Wolverhampton, was a talented and popular singer in the West Midlands during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The line-up of the Mavericks at this time consisted of bass guitarist Rick Dene, drummer Gary James, and lead guitarist Rob Nelson (Lightwood).
By the end of 1964, the original Mavericks had split up so Steve Brett assembled a "new" Mavericks backing-group which consisted of a Walsall band, previously known as The Memphis Cut-Outs. The origins of this group go back to the early 1960s in Walsall, West Midlands when some school friends formed a group called The Phantoms. The members were Mick Aulton on drums, Phil Burnell on rhythm guitar, Kenny Holland on bass guitar and Neville "Noddy" Holder on vocal and lead guitar. Upon leaving school, group members started to go their separate ways with Kenny Holland being replaced by Pete Bickley and Mick Aulton leaving to be replaced by Gerry Kibble and the Phantoms became The Memphis Cut-Outs.
In late 1964, singer Steve Brett asked the Memphis Cut-Outs to become his backing group as his last group, The Mavericks, had split up. Steve Brett was well known locally and had appeared on TV so the Memphis Cut-Outs jumped at the chance thinking this would be their big break. The groups' name was changed to the Mavericks and they began playing almost nightly throughout the Midlands.
