Manchester outfit led by songwriter Graham Gouldman (For Your Love, Heart Full of Soul, Evil Hearted You, Bus Stop, Listen People, No Milk Today, and Pamela, Pamela among others) that also included drummer Kevin Godley. Both went on to 10cc. When BBC-TV;s Top of the Pops was being transmitted from Manchester The Mockingbirds were a regular warm-up band for the show, a scenario that saw them open for the Yardbirds doing For Your Love.. Gouldman had a daytime job working in a men's outfitters shop. Interesting. File under: Early Incarnations.
