ALAN PRICE GIG AT SESSIONS - 1989

Alan Price had a 2 night stint at Sessions in June 1989.
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.
Alan then departed The Animals in the mid 60's to pursue a solo career - he actually played a gig at the Palais (Top Ten Club) in 1966.
Around the early 70's, he kind of became a 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 in the mid 60's, playing the pub & club circuit again.
His 2 female backing singers appear to be sharing a joke behind his back rather than providing vocals!

  1. the first time I saw glass tights I thought she'd oiled her legs, Alan was a hoot down to earth full of mischief, I was with the band most of the day a great laugh.

  2. Alan Price and his band appeared at the Rep. sometime in the eighties(I think). Bloody good as I recall. He still turns up in Dundee occasionally as a guest with the Manfreds etc. Rhythm and Blues tours.

  3. Alan appeared in one or two t.v. shows as a guest actor. Most notably in "Heartbeat" sometime around 2007 (at a guess) as a musician / band leader (think it was a Christmas Special).

    His most notable solo single was probably "Jarrow Song" in the 70's, which was a tribute to the marches from Tyneside when the shipyards were shutting several decades back (pre-WW2).
