NAME: Stephen Giles Then & NowWho was at the Barnet Assembly Hall in 1963 when they should have been doing their homework, to see this line up of Lord Sutch's Savages?
Hello Steve. I'm pretty sure I was there too. Can't think why. Perhaps it was just before we were all spoiled for choice.
Screaming Lord Sutch and chums keep cropping up on these pages like acne on a teenagers face. The earliest references are in replies 13/3,4. There are others in 143/4,7,8 and 149/29. Compared with much of the 'rather naice' pop music that was knocking around at the time, from the likes of Ken Dodd and Susan Maugham Sutch's music must have had the same impact and appeal as Punk.
Martyn I found this photo showing some of the very Lord Sutch & Savages line up that played in Barnet in September 1962! The piano player Andy Wren is out of view, but I do remember that he looked pretty fierce - Oh for a time machine!
