I can remember seeing vinc at bin lid at Dewsbury when I was about 9 special nights for kids he had a sparkly jacket and I had the same coulerd dress loved it
If that was true then I've no idea how Billy managed to own quite a few exotic sports cars and breed horses on his large farm. Or how Tommy Steele managed to buy his parents a new house outright for cash back in 1960, I think he paid 6000 for it back then, equal to around 300,000 in today's money, Tommy bought himself a rolls Royce at the same time. I think the ones who accused him of ripping people off were a couple of acts he had who never had my chart hits and although in his stable of stars, never actually were, they were put out on package tours with the hit makers, but they weren't hit makers themselves or really pulling in big crowds on their own. I remember one of his acts tried to sue him for unpaid royalties, it was in the paper at the time, the total record sales for this artists singles were less than 10,000 copies sold in total, from 7 flops in 2 year's. After production and recording time taken out plus promotion of the singles they were actually out of pocket
Interesting to hear about the times past.

Very interesting Vince.
No airs about him, just telling it as it was. Seems like a nice guy. Contributes to the Vintage Rock mag.
His book is a good read.

It was a powder blue mga reg 100ad
Thought his story with Billy was too early for the MGB GT.
Billy should have fired up and flung LP off.
People remember you guys, not LP. 👋🤠🎵
