The Overtones
The Overtones were Paul Kennelly's first band - later he played with Peppermint Kreem and many others.
Paul Kennelly - "MY FIRST BAND ..... THE OVERTONES 1964 - The image shows Paul Kennelly and John Turner at top left and Chris Ellis and Dave Overton on the right. Both Dave and Chris are sadly , no longer with us. The name OVERTONES came from Dave's surname ( Overton ). We had Gigster drums, a screechy mike, an electrified Spanish guitar, a Watkins amp and , being called Paul and being born in Liverpool, I bought a Vox Bassmaster. I hadn't got a clue although I did learn to tune it ! Eventually, Dave lost interest and so did Chris. I was a pal of two lads at the Art School and that is how John and I set the ball rolling with Smoking Embers, using the Art School after lessons, to rehearse.
