The link between the Beatles and Eric Clapton is Liverpudlian Brian Casser.On 10 May 1960 the Silver Beetles auditioned to back Billy Fury on his upcoming UK tour. Their drummer Tommy Moore was late and Johnny Hutchinson of Cass and the Cassanovas stood in. Lead singer "Cass" was Brian Casser.
At the end of 1960 Brian Casser left and moved to London, where he formed another band, Casey Jones and the Engineers.
Around September 1963 Eric Clapton was very briefly a member of the Engineers, before he left to replace Top Topham in the Yardbirds.
