Biography Login to edit
was an English musician and songwriter who was briefly the bass guitarist with The Shadows, between 1962 and 1963. During his tenure with the band he appeared with Sir Cliff Richard in the film Summer Holiday. Locking was born on 22 December 1938 in Bedworth, Warwickshire, England. He began playing double bass in several bands, notably with the Lincolnshire based rocker Vince Eager. He switched to bass guitar, later joining The Wildcats, a backing group for the rock and roll singer Marty Wilde. A fellow Wildcat was the drummer and future Shadow, Brian Bennett.
Locking also played several other instruments including harmonica and clarinet (nicknamed the "licorice stick", which earned Locking the nickname "Licorice"). Vince Eager (previously Roy Taylor) came up with the nickname "Licorice Stick" when introducing Locking on stage when he played in a skiffle band in Ingoldmells in 1956. This stuck and was later reduced to just "Licorice".
When Marty Wilde parted company from The Wildcats, they changed their name to "the Krew Kats" and recorded instrumentals with modest success. Bennett then left to join the Shadows.
