Here's abit more info;
Brian Diamond & the Cutters turned Professional in 1963 and they were offered a record contract on the prestigious Decca label. Brian had been writing songs for some time and with Les doing their arrangements. They cut their first record "Jealousy Will Get You Nowhere" on the Decca Record label. Sadly it was almost never played on the radio in England (One recording does exist, as Brian recorded at the time this was recently found and restored at Bonanza-Studios). Between 1964 and 1965 they released further records on The Fontana label and in Europe on Vogue and Pye, Possibly their biggest hit being "Big Bad Wolf". Their fan base found popularity in Germany more than in the UK. Brian was asked to overdub the song into the German language. 2 German writers were asked to translate Brian's lyrics for the record "Big Bad Wolf" (Keine Angst Little Woman). Brian also appeared in a promotional performance on the German television station NDR.
They embarked on an extensive tour of England and Scotland, travelling in a mini bus. On two occasions they played in Germany; in Trier and Mannheim. Although their hopes held high, Brian said the group were always poorly paid, and this contributed to the eventual break-up. In 1965/66 they did one last European Tour. After the tour the Cutters broke up and went their separate ways.
Brian went back to the dry cleaning business and became the manager and then owner. He was still gigging and formed "The Exit Band" in 1973, who were together for 23 years, working constantly every weekend at various Hotels
