Chester started his career by forming the band The Five Chesternuts with
Hank Marvin and
Bruce Welch in 1957, who released the unsuccessful single "Teenage Love" on the
Columbia label and appeared on the
Six-Five Special on
BBC television. Chester's song "Left Out Again", and "Tell Me", written with Bruce Welch, appeared on Richard's album
Me and My Shadows, released later in 1960. The first single released under The Shadows' name was "Saturday Dance", written by Chester and Hank Marvin. ==References==
