I am pretty sure that Nero & the Gladiators was the band that Cyril Davis took over and they became the Cyril Davis All Stars. After Cyril'suntimely death they became The Hoochie Coochie Men bacing Long John Baldry. You can hear what a good job Cyril did if you listen to "Country Line Special" by Cyril Davis, it's on you tube. I was one of the people that handled his bookings.

Re Colin Hicks, we toured him around Scotland back in '62 when I was working in our Dundee office.
