The Echoes were an English musical group established in London in early 1960 by singer Chris Wayne for the Johnny Preston, Conway Twitty and Freddy Cannon tour of Great Britain. The Echoes were originally made up from "The Spacemen skiffle group," which were Joe Brown (singer) skiffle group. Joe was a regular on Boy Meets Girls, a television show with Marty Wilde. The Spacemen had no other work while Joe was contracted to do the show, so they were able to do this tour with Chris Wayne as "The Echoes". Original line up was: Chris Wayne (vocals), Tony Oakman (rhythm guitar), George Staff (rhythm guitar), Peter Oakman (bass), Bert Crome (drums). As Joe Brown was usually the lead guitarist, another one had to be found for the tour: Dave Burns (lead guitar).   After the tour, The Echoes disbanded with Tony Oakman, George Staff, Peter Oakman, Bert Crome returning to Joe Brown as his group, The Bruvvers. Later Peter Oakman would go on to play bass for Lonnie Donegan, which he did until Lonnie's death. Chris Wayne continued to work solo; Dave Burns went to work with Wee Willie Harris in Italy.
