They played The Top Ten I think, and the Kaiserskeller, but we went straight to The Star Club in '62, a year later. Q - The Undertakers played at The Star Club and The Top Ten Club in Germany?Ī - Just the Star Club. Don't get him mixed up with the other blonde guy. But in our everyday gigs, we didn't do that.Ī - Yeah. Like on television they'd want us to look that way because its more dramatic. You had the black top hats, the black coats.Ī - That was more other people insisting we do that.

But I'm speaking of the theatrical look of The Undertakers. It was a great time to be from Liverpool. We met some great people you'd never think of including.Ray Charles for instance. That group was really ahead of its time, don't you think?Ī - Yeah, but I hate hearing that. Q - It was a profile of several Liverpool groups. Q - I remember seeing something about The Undertakers in either Life or Look magazine. And then I found it's easy to play one root note for each chord, but then that is very unsatisfying after a while. I started in The Undertakers really and that was about 17. Did you start your career in a Blues group at the age of 16.Ī - No. Let's see how much of what they say is true. Q - I consulted Rolling Stone Encyclopedia Of Rock 'n' Roll about your career. I need a company to print them up in the thousands and promote and distribute and maybe sell a few.Ī - They do UK, Europe and Japan. I've sold some at The Cavern when I performed there. See, I've had a record around, but not really out for three years. Q - Who else is on the label besides yourself?Ī - You wouldn't believe it! Everybody from the '60s (laughs) Everybody! We're talking about solo artists from bands. I have a record coming out in the New Year (2009). It might click somebody's memory and get in touch. Q - Well, maybe after this interview runs. Q - So, you're not doing any national touring? I'm doing one now every Sunday, just to keep my hand in and try out new stuff.

Q - Do you have a band you perform with in the States?Ī - Yeah. I was most recently in Liverpool (England) performing with my old mates The Undertakers. You are still performing, aren't you?Ī - Yup. Q - Jackie, let's start with today and work our way back. What a life Jackie Lomax has had in Pop music! George Harrison produced some of his records as well as playing on them, alongside Ringo and Paul. He was the first recording artist to sign with The Beatles' record label, Apple Records. He was managed by Beatles' manager Brian Epstein. For example: Jackie Lomax performed in some of the same Hamburg, Germany clubs The Beatles performed in. The careers of Jackie Lomax and The Beatles seemed to have crossed at the most important junctures.
