Hi DJ,

Some years ago I managed to get Billy Arnells own copy of Tough Girl, via a third party, & his news paper cutting came with it. Sad really, that he let it go.

I can see why he didn't keep the name Little Willie, probably started thinking of his street cred, being 17 & all that.

Cheers,

Ady.

Any idea when the clipping dates from? Judging by the reference to the Beatles, Stones and Animals, I would guess early 1965.

You're bang on Gene !

I've just Googled an important event that is talked about on the flip of the cutting, & someone refered to it taking place last Sunday. And last Sunday was...March 7, 1965. So this paper cutting is from the following week...second week of March 1965.
