I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the first act to break through in the UK, not from Liverpool or managed by Brian Epstein?
All the background I'm provided with is that "After their national success from 1962, a number of Liverpool performers were able to follow them into the charts, including Gerry & the Pacemakers, the Searchers and Cilla Black.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
