Denny Seyton & The Sabres

Denny Seyton & the Sabres were a Liverpool-based band with founder and lead singer Denny Seyton (real name Brian Tarr), songwriter Lally Stott on lead guitar, Mike Logan on organ, John Boyle on bass, and Eden Kane alumnus Dave Saxon on drums. Their sound was R&B-based, and some accounts of their early stage sound compare them to the Rolling Stones. They were signed to Mercury Records' U.K. division (making them sort of the distant musical precursors to Dexy's Midnight Runners)
