The Toggery Five were an English freakbeat band from Manchester, England that was formed in the midst of the Manchester Beat scene. The band emerged as other popular British acts like The Hollies and The Dakotas were also coming to prominence in Manchester. They were the first band to record "I'm Alive, which inspired The Hollies to also record the song. The band released two singles, but never were able to achieve success outside of the local scene or in the United States.
