The Outriders
1963

The Outriders formed in Hazel Grove (nr Stockport) in 1962 with a four piece line-up of Alan Kettle (Vocal) Chris Hallworth (Drums), Graham Joynson (Guitar) and Arthur Butler (Bass), playing in and around their base at Youth Clubs and a few pubs.

It wasn’t until Alan Kettle left and Giles Bodoano (Bodo) arrived on rhythm guitar and lead vocals that the band really took off.

Soon finding an audience across the North West THE OUTRIDERS became know for good hard rocking performances and fine playing.
