Fact #154317
When:
Short story:
The Shadows begin a three-week cabaret season at The Talk Of The Town, London, England, UK, Europe, with Brian Locking standing in for bassist John Rostill who has suffered a nervous breakdown. Full article:
Andy Gray (reviewer, NME) : It says a lot for The Shadows' playing that they needed no gimmicky clothes or stunts, and for their smooth confidence in going through the act perfectly with ex-Shadow Brian 'Licorice' locking on bass in place of the ailing John Rostill. It was Lick's first outing with the Shads since leaving some four years ago to become a full-time Jehovah's Witness preacher, performing only part-time at nights. After his 'Nivram' feature, he got terrific applause for playing that has lost none of its edge.
