The Capitol were first, followed by the Miami in 1964.
The Royal & Miami both had no.1 singles 1963.
The first band to record a single were the Royal. I know that's not the answer to the first question...I thought I'd just throw that one in Grin

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them!

Well you could have the answer to two of the questions as The Capitol made the first showband LP and with The Miami were the only showbands to appear on the London Palladium.

The link between The Royal and Miami could be that they both had three members in the charts. The Royal, Brendan Bowyer, Charlie Matthews and the late Tom Dunphy and The Miami, Dickie Rock, Murty Quinn and the late Clem Quinn.

Don't see Trisha around so I'll have a stab. It may have been Maxi, Dick and Twink.
