Fourmost–A Night For Mike

The Fourmost were a prominent band of the Merseybeat era with their most famous single “Hello Little Girl” being penned by Lennon and McCartney.

Sadly, band member Mike Millward developed leukaemia in the mid-60s and made his final departure from the band in December 1965, passing away a short while afterwards.

A tribute concert was held at the beginning of April 1966 at the Grafton, raising money for Cancer Research  and a Memorial service followed later the same month.

A selection of artefacts from these occasions are for sale in 2013 auction. They include an order of service plus ticket and flyer for the Night For Mike concert.
