Frank Allen, front man and bass player of The Searchers has collated all his diaries and memory banks to produce a very full and definitive biography of the history of The Searchers, encompassing all the highs and lows of a group that has managed to survive against all the odds, and in a new millennium is still receiving the awards and accolades it so richly deserves.

From small beginnings the group has reached stratospheric heights playing to sell-out venues across the world. The Searchers and Me is packed with epic stories, both comic and tragic, and contains accounts that could only have been experienced by someone who was there.

Frank covers in some detail both the earliest days of the embryonic Searchers and his formative musical years with Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers. His narrative takes us on a unique journey from the 1950s through to the present day.
