Gerry Marsden’s singing career began in his pre-teen years as a member of both the school and church choirs, and from there he graduated to making his first public appearance with his embryo group as a teenager at the age of thirteen.
It was not until four years later, in 1959, that his group, Gerry and the Mars Bars, consisting of Gerry on lead vocals and guitar, his brother, Freddy on drums, Les Chadwick on bass, and Arthur Mack on piano, started playing gigs.
However, the chocolate bar manufacturer soon requested that they change their name, and that’s when they became Gerry and the Pacemakers taking their name from a sports commentary that described one the athletics as a “pacemaker”.

When it comes to the big names in pop music in Liverpool during the '60s, there were the Beatles, of course...but, then, there were Gerry and the Pacemakers.
Although Gerry Marsden and his Pacemakers -- Leslie Maguire, Les Chadwick, and Freddie Marsden -- were certainly no Beatles, they had more success than history might lead you to believe.
In the UK, their achievements were even more substantial, having their first three singles enter the charts at #1, a feat not equaled until Frankie went to Hollywood in the '80s.
