Glenn Shorrock: “We were actually The Checkmates to begin with and there were four of us, but we trimmed it down and became a trio. We were just looking at The sunset one night and I said: “Why don’t we call ourselves The Twilights?” I wish I hadn’t done that, I hated the name from then on. It worked alright if you said The Twilights fast but for some reason it sort of embarrassed me when comperes used to say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, would you put your hands together and give a big welcome for The Twilights.” It just didn’t have the same sort of ring, You know?”
