John McNally (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John McNally (born 30 August 1941 in Walton, Liverpool, England) is an English guitarist and vocalist. He was one of the original founders of The Searchers in 1957, and is still with the band over 50 years later.^[1]

McNally started off playing skiffle and said that he was first influenced by country singers like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Hank Snow but after playing at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany, and specifically, playing with Fats Domino at the club, his music took a different course towards Soul and Rhythm & Blues.^[2]

McNally, with his band, The Searchers, like The Beatles, were instrumental with developing the Mersey sound.^[3]
