The Deep Set

..............

Formed by members of The Chimes (The Creoles) and The Rik-a-Tiks in 1965, Paul & The Deep Set released a version of 'The House With The Whitewashed Gable' at the same time as Joe Dolan & The Drifters. The Neil Levinson song was originally called '221 East Maple' and new lyrics were penned by Greenbeats manager Kevin Dunne to suit the Irish market. The line-up included Philip O'Duffy and Gerry Higgins (guitars/vocals), Willie Lynch (bass), Lesley O'Neill (drums) and Paul Butler (vocals). They also released the Don Everly song 'Hello Amy' the A side in Ireland, with 'That's The way Life Goes' the A side in Britain. Willie Lynch has led his own successful 5-piece band in the USA for the past 30 years - rock on Willie!
