ALAN PRICE GIG AT SESSIONS - 80'S

This is Alan Price entertaining the Dundee crowd along at Sessions in Westport - sometime around the mid/late 80's.
I can remember when Alan was a regular on the telly in the 60's when he was in The Animals, a band who had some serious chart-busting singles in the hit parade - as it was called back then.
He then went solo around the early 70's and became a kind of lightweight all-round entertainer appearing on naff variety shows. I never saw or heard him again after that.
So obviously, as this picture shows, he went back to doing what he was doing before The Animals formed - playing the Northern pub & club circuit.
His 2 female backing singers appear to be sharing a joke behind his back rather than providing vocals!

MUSIC CELEBS WITH DCT MAGS #1

A wee bit of fun now as I indulge in a short, quirky sequence featuring famous music biz personalities photographed reading DC Thomson publications.
Starting with this LP released in 1966, the John Mayall Blues Breakers album which has Eric Clapton reading a well known Dundee comic on the cover. The image has become so iconic, that the record has since become known as "The Beano Album".
Although it's quite an amusing sight, the album itself is seriously considered to be one of the most influential LP's in rock history because it spotlights for the very first time, the sound of a Gibson Les Paul being powered through a Marshall amp. A phenomenon which itself eventually became a bit of a cliche in rock music and was comically parodied in Spinal Tap...remember..."the numbers all go to 11"
