Band, 1962-1966 GB
Pop and Rock

The Four Pennies were a 1960s English pop group. They were the most important UK group not to chart in America during the 1960s British Invasion, since "Juliet" was the only 1964 #1 by a UK group not to chart in America. Band members: Lionel Morton (vocalist/rhythm guitarist) Fritz Fryer (lead guitarist) Alan Buck (drummer) Mike Wilsh (bassist/keyboardist/backing vocalist) Late 1965 to early 1966, Fryer left the band and was replaced by David Graham (guitarist).
