© The Cryin Shames 2013
Welcome to The Cryin Shames website. Take a look round at the latest news and stories from the past. We re-formed in 2009 as The Bumblies, which
was the band’s original name. It was changed in 1966 round about the time of the recording of the bands biggest hit “Please Stay”. Following history the
band morphed in the Shames once again for the Operation Big Beat concert celebrating 50 years since the original concert starring The Beatles. The band
today consists of two of the original players Dave Ferguson, who along with George Robinson and Mike Parker founded the band in 1963. Charlie
Gallagher who played on the Please Stay record is back on the skins. The band also features some great players from the Merseybeat Kevin Murphy on
bass who played with The KondorGroup, Colin Gort on Keyboards is regarded as one of the best players around and on lead guitar we have “Baby
Bumblie” Steve Maloney.
