Maximum Rhythm 'n' Blues

It was billed as a Night at the Flamingo, featuring the Alan Price Set and guests. Our host and droll raconteur was first to feature:





He then gave the spotlight to Zoot Money, whose Big Roll Band (alternating with Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames) used to be one of the house bands at the Flamingo in the 60's:

Then Chris Farlowe and Maggie Bell duetted on William Bell and Judy Clay's Private Number:

After the break, Chris Farlowe did T-Bone Walker's Stormy Monday Blues, with Bobby Tench wailing away on lead guitar:
