In this print from February 2nd, 1963, we see the iconic English instrumental group, The Tornados, posing alongside Pat Doncaster of the Daily Mirror. This snapshot captures a significant moment in their career as they proudly display their gold disc for selling over one million copies of their record Telstar. However, amidst the excitement and celebration, tragedy struck when their beloved gold disc was stolen from their dressing room. Little did they know that fate had something unexpected in store for them. The stolen record mysteriously found its way into the hands of Pat Doncaster himself. With great joy and relief, this heartwarming image shows Pat happily returning the precious disc to its rightful owners. It is a testament to his integrity and genuine admiration for The Tornados' talent. From left to right in this photograph are Alan Caddy, Clem Cattini, Heinz Burt (may he rest in peace), Pat Doncaster of the Daily Mirror, Roger LaVern & George Bellamy. Their smiles radiate pure happiness and gratitude as they hold onto what represents not only an incredible achievement but also a symbol of resilience against adversity. This extraordinary moment captured by Doreen Spooner transports us back to an era where music united people across generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst setbacks and challenges on our journey towards success, there will always be kind souls who help restore what was lost along the way.
