A POP group were a big hit with a seriously-injured Rossendale girl when they visited her in hospital.
The lads of The Little Boy Blues went one better when they heard that 20-year-old Maureen Mulcahy wanted a photo for her bedside at Blackburn Royal Infirmary.
They had one taken specially, then delivered it in person, along with a bouquet of flowers.
And it was a ‘wonderful surprise’ for the patient, of Todmorden Road, Bacup, who had been badly hurt in a car crash, at Edisford Bridge, that 1964 summer.
The group, from Darwen, used to be known as the Bone Shakers, and comprised drummer Bob Holden, guitarist Terry Walsh, Alf Cook, and Mike Fitzjohn. Among their regular venues was the Tender Trap, in Bacup.
