In mid-1967 the Klubs were invited to EMI's Abbey Road for a recording test, which was to be overseen by staff producer David Paramor. Unfortunately Granada appear to have wiped the show, although an acoustic version of the song, recorded in Paddy Breen's bedroom, is featured herein.

With the single stillborn, the Klubs were compensated by their appearance on a Granada TV talent show entitled First Timers, in which they performed an original song entitled 'Only John Tring'.

'Livin' Today' was an early excursion into hard-edged psychedelia, its thrillingly primitive qualities offset by a naggingly insistent melody and the unexpected presence of the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's horn section. In March the group cut a one-sided white label demo single for Chart Records, a Liverpool-based label that would collapse without issuing any product. He was replaced by Peter Sinclair-Tidy, who'd previously been with another local group, the Crazy Chains. However, the group were dragged back from their flower power reveries when drummer Kenny Marshall, one of the founder members of the group, drowned in a local boating accident. Employing a rudimentary liquid light show, the group travelled to gigs in a black Maria they'd bought from the Liverpool police, hand-painted with 'Love Not War' slogans, flowers and what the local press described as 'a zig-zagging array of pastel and primary shades'. Having slimmed down to a five-piece, the Klubs firmly embraced the sea-change in British pop, and a February 1967 ad in the Walton Times described them as 'psychedelic sight and sound'. The group were gradually making the transition to original material, and their move away from a blues-based sound meant that Walker's harmonica skills were now something of an anachronism. However, this development coincided with the departure of Alan Walker. In view of this link, it seemed a logical move when the Klubs signed a management deal with Cavern Enterprises.

With the Merseybeat boom in terminal decline, they were one of the new breed of regulars at the Cavern Club - in fact, only the Beatles and the Hideaways could match their number of appearances at Liverpool's premier 60s venue. Nevertheless, at this stage the Klubs were primarily a local phenomenon. One Tiles all-nighter in July 1966 found them headlining over the Fleur de Lys and the Eyes, while Kenny Everett and underground scenester Jeff Dexter both MC'd at subsequent appearances. The group made frequent trips to London, often playing at Tiles in Oxford Street as well as the prestigious Marquee. Playing in and around Liverpool on a semi-pro basis, the Klubs' brand of driving R&B was effectively the provincial equivalent of the thriving Home Counties scene - indeed, their early performances were built around covers of Stones and Pretty Things material. By the end of the year, the Klubs line-up had solidified as Paddy Breen (vocals), Alan Walker (vocals, harmonica), Trevor Griffiths (lead guitar), John Reid (rhythm guitar), Norris Easterbrook (bass) and Kenny Marshall (drums). Despite the ad hoc nature of the line-up and attendant lack of preparation, the Klubs somehow emerged as competition winners, music weekly Disc proclaiming that they'd played 'some knockout R&B numbers'. These include 3 multi-investigator groups that operate principally in the TB/HIV space, 2 extramural research units of the South African Medical Research Council and a number of other research entities, 6 Research Chairs awarded under the National Research Foundation's South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI), and further areas of research foci led by individual Members.Īs a collective, the research groups include over 440 research officers and laboratory, clinical, field site and administrative support staff, 280 Masters and PhD students registered in any year, and 60 or more Postdoctoral Fellows.Formed at Birkenhead Institute for Boys in 1965, the Klubs initially boasted a fairly fluid line-up - a group of that name who entered a September 1965 beat contest on the Isle of Man were pulled together with only two days notice. Overall, there are more than 30 research groups. IDM Fellows are hosted in Member groups. The Members may also collaborate with Affiliate or Adjunct Members.

Research in the IDM is led by the Full and Associate Members, either working independently with their own research groups or in larger groups led by more than one Member. The Institute comprises 35 Full and 11 Associate Members, with 10 IDM Fellows, 13 Affiliate Members from departments within the University of Cape Town, and 12 Adjunct Members based nationally or internationally.
