Can you name the artist in this photo of the Locarno in Sheffield?

The Locarno Nightclub Sheffield

Can you name the artist on stage and the year?

Hmmmm....lead singer appears to be wearing glasses. From the haircuts and the fairly weensy speakers/ amplifiers, mid-1960s.

But no I can't. Do you know the answer?

I'll take a guess at The Zombies.

White coat and big white guitar, I think that may be The Rocking Drumbeats.

I found a picture of The Rocking Drumbeats, I think this was actually taken at The Locarno.

It looks as if Boginspro is correct. I must admit that I have never heard of this group, and I can't find anything about them on the internet. Did they, or any of them, find fame?

I can't say what happened to them, my rocking days are long gone. They played at many clubs round Sheffield, including I think The Black Cat, Embassy, Azena, Locarno and some working men's clubs. I think I saw them on the same bill as Frankenstein and The Monsters, possibly at Smithywood or Darnall Green club.
