The Kavern Four

The Kavern Four carried a name owed a bit to a certain Liverpool club, much as their sound was derived from the signature sound out of that same city. Ron Gough (lead guitar, vocals), Mick Bott (keyboards), John Slater (bass), and Jim Richards (drums) hailed from Birmingham, England, and were good enough and successful enough locally to attract the attention of Decca Records' talent scouts, who put them under contract and recorded a handful of tunes. Three of them, "So Glad," "Stop Your Crying," and "I Want to Dance," ended up on the Decca compilation album Brum Beat -- based on the evidence of those tracks, their sound was closer to Gerry & the Pacemakers than to the Beatles, that is, the romantic and rock ballad side of British rock & roll. They could and should have been competitive with Gerry Marsden and company, the Fourmost, and even the Swinging Blue Jeans, but their music may have lacked the touches of originality that would have gotten it more radio play and, thus, the group more exposure. Sad to say, none of the members seems to have gone onto anything else of permanence in music.This group from Cannock recorded three tracks that were included on a rare album entitled "Brum Beat" that was issued by Decca Records in 1964.
