[Marauder]

Even worse than Herman's Hermits was another Brit group that called themselves Freddy and the Dreamers (their most memorable tune: "Do the Freddy"). This was back during the "British Invasion."

But there were some fairly good ones, like Gerry and the Pacemakers.

"Freddy and the Dreamers"

Unfortunately, I remember them quite clearly. They played their songs while spreading their arms and legs up in the air, kind of a forerunnor of the YMCA schtick.

The Searchers were another good British Invasion group. I just read in the paper today that their drummer had died. He had become an accountant, or something like that.
