EDDIE MILES BAND
While working as a machinist in a local factory, Richard Starkey befriended Roy Trafford, who introduced him to skiffle music. The two began practicing together and were joined by another co-worker Eddie Miles, forming the Eddie Miles Band that was later renamed Eddie Clayton and the Clayton Squares. (Interestingly, Eric Clapton took the pseudonym “Eddie Clayton” in his credits for Wonderwall Music, perhaps from this connection).
