Dear Yorkshire Drummer. I knew Mark Ford and Charlotte when we were children together. Is there any chance that you would be able to put us in touch? I spent a lot of time with your sister Sharron and Perry your Brother in Law when they lived in Kent, before they moved to the USA. I live in Yorkshire now. Regards Carina

Anyone concected to this wonderful group should be extremely proud, they provided a musical backdrop to people growing up in the 60s, and you had to be really good to survive back then with so may great artists around. So may I say thanks for all the memories that your family gave to thousands of people with their own very special brand of music.

Its always a pity when one of the original group passes away, but thats life especially with the 60's groups. They cannot go on forever, its a pity that they cannot. Music will never be as good.

@Yorkshiredrummer if that is true - it is a pitty and should be puished. An insult to the true Ivy league - gods singing ... But the song amd intention is good !!
@maltblossom He did indeed support the cover band's efforts. I have a picture of him, backstage with the current lineup. He just loved music so much - he didn't care who was playing it, as long as they did. I miss my Dad very, very much. I love to see comments on here - it's like he's still around. Cheers.

This is not the original Band. Perry Ford was my brother in Law. one of the others was called Johnny Shakespear and was related to the playwrite. I forget the name of the other one. They all stayed at my Mothers House in 1961 I am a drummer and I played with the Yorkshire Jazz Band at the time and that night we both had gigs in Liverpool . mine was at the Cavern with the Beatles as support group and the Ivy league played at the Iron Door.
