any ideas if i can find anything out on this please?
cheers

Hi Tony
Not that this is definitive and we all know the downsides of Wikipedia and its volunteer editors, but David Johnson is not listed among the former members of Gerry and the Pacemakers on the
Wiki page for the group. Neither did a google search that I made come up with verification. Maybe he sat in with them in the early days? If there is truth in his claim, maybe some website or book on the Merseybeat scene might confirm it? Good luck in trying to find out.
All the best
Chris
