Before the Count Five, the Walkers vamped a bit. Ron was a member of the Walkers while writing songs for the Dave Clark Five. In fact, the Walkers heard several DC5 tunes before they were turned over to the DC5. Alan Churchill, the Walkers' keyboard player, helped transpose songs like Because from the key in which Ron wrote to a key more suited to Mike Smith's singing voice.
The Walkers were an excellent band that gigged all over London and even won a few Battles of the Bands. It is The Walkers with Ron Ron on Sometimes, a tune recorded by both Oliver Reed and the DC5 and said to be preferred ny no less an expert than his wife Vicki over the more famous Because. The Walkers were Ron Ryan on guitar and vocals, Mike Martin on bass, Alan Churchill on keyboards, Mick Ryan on guitar and the keeper of the beat - Roy Saint (aka Gooner) on drums.
Mike Martin would follow Ron to the Riot Squad after the Walkers disbanded.
