 The Undertakers developed a major local following for their live performances.This was due to the quality of Lomax's singing, the customisation of the band’s instruments and amplification by Huston, and the fact that, unlike most Merseybeat groups, they were boosted by a saxophone, which enabled them to play a wider range of R&B songs including more obscure material.There is a photograph of fans queueing at the Cavern for what was thought to be the Beatles, when they were in fact queueing for the Undertakers.
