Three members of a Scouse band were tragically killed in a horror car crash during their first European tour.
The Hoedowners - a country and western band from Liverpool, had just been signed by an agent and were on the verge of fame, when they travelled to Turkey to mark the start of their tour.
But on March 31, 1970, their dream trip took a devastating turn, when they were involved in a fatal car crash - just an hour away from Turkey.
Band members Prudence Wright, from West Kirby, aged 20 at the time, Maurice Robinson, 32, from Anfield and Joseph Connolly, 31, were all killed during the crash.
The fourth member of the band, Ray Goldby, who was also involved in the crash survived.
Fifty years on from the tragic accident, Donna Deponeo has contacted the ECHO in the hope of finding photographs or old video footage of her dad Maurice Robinson, performing in the band.
Donna, 55, from Brombrough Pool, in Wirral, was just five years old when her dad died and sadly never got the chance to see him perform.
The 55-year-old who only has one photograph of her dad in the band, has spoken out in the hope that people who remember the Hoedowners will come forward with information.
Donna told the ECHO: "They were really popular in the country and western scene in the 60's in Liverpool.
"They were driving across Europe on their first European tour, they were on their way to Turkey at the time.
"They were about an hour away from their destination, when three out of four of them were killed in a car accident including my dad Maurice Robinson."
Donna said there was a fifth member of the Hoedowners called Graham, who didn't go on the tour because his partner was having a baby at the time.
She said: "I was only five at the time so no one really spoke to me about the accident directly. My aunties and uncles have spoken about my dad but not about the accident.
"I always remember this one night when I was staying at Grans house and I knew my dad had gone away somewhere to perform.
"My Gran always let me stay up late and I remember there being a knock at the door and my uncle went and answered it.
"I heard a voice say 'is the little-un up' and then they said 'well take her upstairs.'"
Donna who was just five years old at the time, said she "knew something was wrong" but she didn't know what.
She added: "I thought it might be with my mum or my dad but I didn't know what it was so I went upstairs.
"Then I saw my mum and this lady walking up the path really upset and I thought it must be my dad.
"No one told me until a while afterwards. We were walking to church one day and my mum told me."
Donna said: "There are times when I really wish I had my dad here, like when I got married and walked down the aisle."
Donna who has three children, two step children and grandchildren said it's heartbreaking that her dad never got to meet them.
She added: "My younger son is the absolute image of him. I just wish they had known him and he had been here to watch them grow up, that's when it hurts.
"I've got one photo of my dad and the band that they used for marketing and couple of family photos of me and him together but I have never seen him perform.
"The band were always performing at weddings and at functions around the city, so I'm just hoping someone might have some old cine footage of them or photographs.
"It's been a quest for 50 years and it's got to the point that, that generation is slowly starting to fade away."
Donna said: "My dad would have been 83 this year, so this is the last hope that anyone out there might remember him and come forward.
"Whether it's old footage or photographs or just memories of the band.
"It really would make my dream come true."
