Also on the bill was "Larry Page" who was
to be my future record boss when my band Octopus signed to Penny Farthing Records.
Plus "The Lana Sisters" one of whom was "Dusty Springfield".
Opening the show was "The Jimmy Currie Trio". Jimmy Currie had left Lonnie a month earlier and had been replaced on guitar by Les Bennetts.
