Chris Cavanagh is the youngest member of the group. During the mid-nineties he toured throughout Europe with British group Made In The UK and recorded with the Bible Code for independent record label Root Of The Music. Chris was approached by Pete’s management company to front the Pete Best Band after a tip-off from younger brother Roag. Chris has been described in world press as a young Paul McCartney.

Dave is the only other member of the Pete Best Band apart from Pete to record at the world famous Abbey Road Studio’s.
