57- echo boys might mean Echo& Bunnymen but more likely Liverpool Echo.
If its water related maybe Mersey - was there Mersey Brothers?

57. I have the answer to this one now.

Johnnie Cullen & Arthur Carthy

Cullen and Carthy met while working together as "Echo boys" in the machinery room of the newspaper printers for the Liverpool Echo, where eventually they found themselves fired for singing and dancing for the amusement of their co-workers.[12]

wow, well found the Winner.... I got stuck in a blind alley assuming they were brothers as both surnames were the same length.... but for some reason I wrongly thought answers must be something to do with water

[TheWinner]

I thought it was to do with water too, that's why it took so long.
