THE SILKIE

Sylvia Tatler (vocals), Mike Ramsden (guitar/vocals), Ivor Aylesbury (guitar/vocals) and Kevin Cunningham (double bass) were students at Hull University, England, when they were &quot;discovered&quot; by Beatles' manager Brian Epstein. The Silkie's folk credentials were established with their debut single, &quot;Blood Red River&quot;, but they achieved a commercial success with &quot;You've Got To Hide Your Love Away&quot;, which clipped the UK Top 30 in October 1965. This engaging release was produced by its composers - John Lennon and Paul McCartney - but the group was unable to repeat its charm and lost any prevailing pop/folk battle to the Seekers.<br /><br /><strong>Discography:</strong><br> The Silkie Sing The Songs Of Bob Dylan (Fontana 1965)**, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (1965)**.
