The Luvvers

The Luvvers were a Scottish rock group. They are best known as the backing group to Lulu on her debut chart single, "Shout" (1964). They subsequently had a low-key career of their own before disbanding in March 1966.

Before they changed their name to the Luvvers (or the Luvers as credited on early UK singles pressings) for the release of "Shout", which became a UK hit single when it peaked at number seven in the early summer of 1964, the band were called the Gleneagles, with Lulu as one of the vocalists. Until their chart breakthrough they played a brand of R&B influenced music regularly in Glasgow's clubs, specifically the Lindella, where they were discovered by Tony Gordon, owner of the Phonograph disco. The original line-up was Alex Bell (vocals), Ross Neilson (lead guitar), James Dewar (rhythm guitar), Tommy Tierney (bass guitar), David Mullin (drums) and Jimmy Smith (saxophone).

They moved to London to be managed by Gordon's sister Marian Massey, and at this point Smith left and was not replaced. After the group recorded their first album Something To Shout About, Mullin was replaced by Henry Wright from The Blues Council, and they continued to tour the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. Two package tours followed, one with The Honeycombs and Gene Vincent, and another one with Gene Pitney with the Rockin' Berries. They were compèred by the then unknown duo of Syd Little and Eddie Large. They recorded a single, "The House On The Hill"/"Most Unlovely", for the Parlophone label in 1966.
