They progressed from playing local parties and contests to regular hall appearances, and turned professional, changing their name to the Remo Four in mid-1959.

They played a mix of vocal harmony material and instrumental numbers in the manner of the Everly Brothers, the Shadows, the Ventures, and Chet Atkins.

The Remo Four were voted Number Three Group in a 1961 Mersey Beat poll, and among their fans were the Beatles, fresh from a season in Hamburg, Germany.

Both groups were among the regulars at the Cavern Club during 1961 and 1962, and both shared the bill with Gerry & The Pacemakers, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, and Ted "Kingsize" Taylor and the Dominoes, at the 1961 "Operation Big Beat", a festival at New Brighton's Tower Ballroom.

[2] While the Beatles travelled back and forth to Hamburg, the Remo Four began playing U.S. Air Force bases in France, building their stage and musical experience.

Late in 1967, George Harrison hired the Remo Four as his backing band for part of his first solo project, the soundtrack album to the movie Wonderwall.
