The Black Knights (band)

The Black Knights (band)

The Black Knights were a Mersey Beat three-piece band formed in Liverpool in the early 1960s. Their lead singer and rhythm guitarist was Ken Griffiths, the bassist and backing vocalist was Bill Kenny, and the drummer was initially Taffy Jones and later Allan Schroeder, formerly of Cliff Roberts & the Rockers.

The band appeared successfully auditioned for the Gerry & the Pacemakers film "Ferry Cross the Mersey" and their amplifiers were sponsored by Selmer UK. Their debut single "I Gotta Woman"/"Angel of Love", written by Griffiths and produced by George Martin at Abbey Road Studios, was released in 1965. They followed a tour of Britain with a six-week residency at the Star-Club in Hamburg, but split up shortly after returning to the UK.
