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 "The first act to break through in the UK who were not from Liverpool, or managed by Brian Epstein, were Freddie and the Dreamers, who were based in Manchester, as were Herman's Hermits and the Hollies.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
