The Bachelors                                  

The Original 60's Group.

1965 The Bachelors sang two songs in Italian at the 'San Remo Song Festival', one of which went on to become no 1 record in Italy! Other artists appearing were Neil Diamond, Sonny and Cher, The Hollies, Connie Francis, and Dionne Warwick.

ALSO   Summer Season at the ABC Theatre in Gt. Yarmouth 'The Bachelors' learned to play Golf with other beginners like Joe Brown, Matt Monro, Jimmy Tarbuck and Lonnie Donegan.

ALSO

Another record breaker of a pantomime for 'The Bachelors' in Bristol Hippodrome.

Whilst appearing in Pantomime in Bristol, Dec had a near fatal car crash. Travelling to London one night to pick up a new car, the sports car he was driving blew a tyre and somersaulted over a fence. Dec was found wandering in the middle of the road in a state of concussion, and needed 14 stitches in his head.

Despite this he managed to perform that night, with a doctor standing in 'The wings', although he did have to sit down half way through the act due to dizziness! John Stokes was 'Off' the show at the time recovering from an operation, so it was almost a solo appearance for Con.

Dec with hands on hips, surveys the wreck of his car and wonders how he came out of it alive. Also in the picture are Billy Livingston, the boys' touring manager, Joe Baker, comedian, and Con.
