 BACKGROUND + MEER INFORMATIE

THE PRESIDENTS
The Presidents: 1959 to 1965
The Presidents was formed in 1959, and played mainly in pubs and clubs throughout the South London suburbs, experiencing numerous personnel changes until it dissolved in 1965. Over the years they played alongside bands such as The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, and Georgie Fame.
Singer Rick Tyrell was a member of The Fenders aka The Strangers, who became The Roulettes in September  1961.

RADIO SIDNEY: ‘WHAT ABOUT US?’  by BRUCE WELSH
‘What About Us?’ showcases the thousands of “other guys” who were turning out records in the U.K. between 1962 and 1969.  A few may have had fleeting success with a one hit wonder tune but like all the big names of the day, they were just trying to make it big.  Some of them enjoyed major success outside the U.K. over in Germany, France, Italy and Sweden and experienced the frenzied girls screaming and chasing them.  A number of these bands also contained members who would eventually crack the big time with other bands but they paid their dues in these lesser known bands before finding success.
As for a bit on me, I’d just use the About The Author  of  “What About Us?: A Rocklopaedia of Britain’s Other Recording Groups 1962-1966 ” (M-Y Books UK) https://m-ybooks.co.uk/

My show ‘The Savage Tree’ on Radio Sutch 

Screaming Lord Sutch & The Savages 
My show ‘The Savage Tree’ was originally broadcast on the revived  ‘Radio Sutch’ between 2014 and 2018.

‘The Savage Tree’ explores the rhythm and blues roots and branches of Screaming Lord Sutch and his backing-band The Savages.

With roughly fifty line-ups of The Savages to his name, Screaming Lord Sutch was backed by dozens and dozens of artists –  and that’s not counting the many guests on his recordings.  Together, they make up the huge and unique Savage Tree.
1) In each show, we take a closer look at the rhythm and blues output by individual Savages and bands counting Savages in their ranks.
Some ‘Savages’: Vince Taylor’s Playboys, Alex Dmochovski, Carlo Little, Peter Parks, Matthew Fisher, Nicky Hopkins, Alan Clayson, Jim Leverton, Mick Abrahams, Cyril Davies, Geoff Everett, Richie Blackmore, Noel Redding, Neil Christian, Brian Parkinson, Brian Keith aka Brian O’Shea.
2) We also play  the originators and inspirators, and
3) British, American and European artists who have kept the R&B flame burning.

THANKS TO
BRUCE WELSH for allowing Radio 68 to broadcast his Presidents Special, originally produced for Radio Sidney in Canada:
