| Biography | The Spinners were a 1960s folk group from Liverpool, England formed in September 1958. The group was unusual for its time in having a multiracial membership. They produced over forty albums, and made numerous concerts and TV appearances. In 1970, they were given their own television show on BBC One that ran for seven years. They also had their own show on BBC Radio 2. They retired in 1988, after thirty years together, although they led the community singing at the 1989 FA Cup Final and played some Christmas shows in the early 1990s. Some members of the group still perform, although Cliff Hall retired to Australia, where he died in 2008. |
