Were Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders from Manchester?

I remember Dick Dodd well as the leader of The Standells, but I had no idea that he was in two of my favorite surf guitar bands, The Bel-Aires and Eddie and the Showmen. RIP. http://www.latimes.com/obituaries/la-me-dick-dodd-20131201,0,143571.story#axzz2mC4m0jNw

Thanks, Bev! i didn't know that Manchester was so close to Liverpool. As I recall, Liverpool was the #1 city of the British Invasion bands (thanks to Brian Epstein), and Manchester was #2 with Herman's Hermits, The Hollies, and maybe The Moody Blues (?).

You're welcome, Jeff! When I saw those titles, I thought that they had your name written on them! dgs, I still haven't received your name and address. Please pm me!
