Other cities were:- Johannesburg where they had performed two previous concerts, Cape Town. Other commitments in Durban and Port Elizabeth were not met. This tour was cut short when Dusty was served with a deportation order after ignoring two official warnings to stop singing to multi-racial audiences in Cape Town.. Three days later Dusty Springfield, Vic Billings (manager) and The Echoes were escorted to the airport to fly back to Britain.

Douggie Reece 23rd May 2021		Live Music Gerry And The Pacemakers @ Capital Theatre	Review Snippet taken from Roslyn Owens article, who reviewed the show for The West Australian a leading news source in Perth and WA. Perth Capital Theatre 4th April 1964. When the phenomenon of the beat sound, located most significantly in Liverpool, started to take off in Australia in mid-1963, Harry M. Miller set about booking his own ‘Liverpool Sound’ show to tour the capital cities, including Perth. ‘The World’s Top Record Sensations on the Wild “Liverpool Sound” Show,’ as they were advertised, played three sets in Perth at a converted cinema, the Capitol Theatre, on Saturday 4th April 1964, two months before the Beatles came to Australia. Headlining the show were Gerry and the Pacemakers. Dusty Springfield opened after her backing group, the Echoes, had played a warm-up set. Also on the bill were Gene Pitney and Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. Dusty Springfield was a blue-eyed soul singer who came from London and had previously been in a vocal trio called the Springfields. Brian Poole and the Tremeloes came from Dagenham in Essex. Gene Pitney was American. Miller, it seems, called the show the ‘Liverpool Sound’ to capitalise on the presence of Gerry and the Pacemakers. This preference in Perth for the lighter, poppier end of the beat sound spectrum is more clearly demonstrated in the reception of the other group of the ‘Liverpool Sound’ tour, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. Roslyn Owen, who reviewed the show for The West Australian, commented that ‘Jerry [sic] Marsden, backed by his Pacemakers, had tremendous attack, a wide grin and a loud presentation.’ However, Owen preferred Brian Poole and the Tremeloes: ‘Why Gerry and the pacemakers [sic] topped the bill is a mystery. The group was outshone by Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and the professional polish and charm of Miss Dusty Springfield ✔︎ Helpful Review?
