on to the bill of a show at the Essoldo Theatre in Birkenhead. Larry Parnes was putting on Marty Wilde at the theatre. Ronnie Wycherley talked his way backstage and, after a brief
audition, was added to the bill. Along with a string of early sixties hits, he starred in I’ve Gotta Horse with Amanda Barrie, Michael Medwin and Jon Pertwee.
