HErman - Manchester's First Number One
HERMAN'S HERMITS have made it. They've captured the top notch in RM's TOP 50 for the northerners with their first disc, following the pattern set by the previous residents of number one, The Kinks and The Honeycombs. And their success has confirmed reports that Manchester is taking over from Liverpool as the centre in the north for the top groups and clubs.
Almost as a prize that goes hand in hand with the top spot, Herman has been booked to star in a pantomime near Manchester this Christmas. The panto, Dick Whittington, with Herman (16-year-old Peter Noone) playing the lead role, opens at Chester Royalty Theatre on Boxing Day and will run until February 6.
