SUTCH A LIFE (1940 - 1999)

2010-09-30T08:54:00.000-07:00

“Screaming Lord Sutch 3rd Earl of Harrow” he had no connection with the peerage of course. He was born David Edward Sutch, at New End Hospital, in Hampstead, North West London, on 10th November 1940 from William & Annie Sutch who named him after 'David Copperfield' from Charles Dicken's novel. He and his mother moved from Killburn to South Harrow in Northwest London in the early 50s.

After he left school in 1956, he had various jobs: sheet metal worker, plumber's apprentice, spanner boy for a garage mechanic then self employed and part-time window cleaner.

In 1959, Dave Sutch started to perform at the Two I's Coffee Bar in Old Compton Street, Soho, London.

There Sutch decided to swap his former Elvis Presley look-alikes apparel for the 'wild man of Borneo' look after he saw a pair of old buffalo horns for sale at 2/- in a place called "Jack's Second Hand Shop" and then came on stage disguised with buffalo horns glued to a crash helmet and his aunt's leopard skin jacket, which he tored the sleeves off.

Building a rock horror act, David Sutch renamed himself with the stage name "Screaming Lord Sutch" inspired by the black american Rock sorcerer "Screaming Jay Hawkins". Now he wore 18 inch long hair, he would pull it up over his head and wore a top hat during the day. He actually had very long hair before that would eventually become the mood.

By 1963, after the "Profumo Affair" Screaming Lord Sutch decided to form a political party The 'Sod Em All Party' whose main campaign issue was lowering the voting age from 21 to 18.

Therefore he unsussesfully stood for 39 elections, leading various other lunatic parties such as The 'Go To Blazes Party' and the Monster Raving Loony Party, and campaigning for nutty causes such as knighthoods for the Beatles, passports for pets, or providing heated toilet seats for all pensioners.

During his long career Screaming Lord Sutch was backed by many famous bands: the Playboys (of Vince Taylor), the Fleerekkers, The Echoes (later with Dusty Springfield), The Ravers (of Dave Anthony), the Tridents (with Jeff Beck), the Others (of Derry Wilkie), the Loving Kind (with Noel Redding), his Heavy Friends, Rock Island Line, Shotgun, the Houseshakers, the Rapiers, the Nightriders (of Mike Sheridan) and many others. Although his most famous backing band was, of course, the Savages who stayed by his side more than 30 years.

Screaming Lord Sutch came on stage in a “Big Black Coffin” carried by the Savages, dressed in animal skins and stone-age gear, before to front an audience with a repertory of horror songs. His most popular and well known of number was “Jack The Ripper” during which he was chasing the pianist with a knife. Many of his keyboardists ended up falling off stage and then in hospital. Later he used an huge axe instead and keyboardists were replaced by saxophonists. And his music sound evolved from loud Rock’n’Roll and R’n’B to more Soul oriented music.

However his band was famous above all for its musical innovations such as using fuzz guitar effects or very loud drummings sounding like a cannon.

From 1961, he had released with the Savages more than 20 singles and 4 original albums in Britain but never achieved a hit. His most well known song was his tribute to “Jack The Ripper”.

Suffering with long-term and struggling with major debts, Dave Sutch took his own life on the 16 June, 1999, aged just 58.

ANECTODES & MEMORIES

2010-09-16T04:33:00.003-07:00

A Funny anecdote in Finland by Wilde Bob Burgos

LAST GIG, HARROW, 1997, by Paul Green

HARTLEPOOL, 1965
In The middle of The Bewildered Crowd

Colin Solman, drummer and co/producer of the "Alive & Well" album, remembers:

"In 1979, Tim Green and I were based in Hamburg and touring with Mungo Jerry, when Tim got a call from Dave and the suggestion was made for us to get a band together and do some gigs with him. One of the venues was a longer stint in a huge circus tent put up right next to the Berlin Wall, called the Tempodrom. Dave had a devoted fan club in Berlin. They all used to turn up in Lord Sutch t-shirts and sang along with whatever Dave decided to sing. We were part of a show they called "A revue of the 60's", which not only featured music, dancers, magicians and circus artistes, but also had Buster Edwards on, describing his part in the Great Train Robbery. The whole thing had this feel about it, like back in the flower power days and the Roundabout at Chalk Farm, really raw stuff. We used to hang out with Buster a lot, who in fact was a great bloke with a heart of gold. We often had to carry him back to the hotel though....

I know that Dave was in his element. I remember he always used to bring his own tea machine with him, complete with teabags and a flask full of milk. When I asked him at our hotel why he took milk everywhere with him, he said "Cos milk is like gold dust in Germany, they only sell it in tiny tins." Because he never saw any bottles of milk anywhere and most Germans put Carnation in their coffee, he was under the impression that milk must be expensive, so he brought his own. It was on this tour by the way, that he began thanking Germans for services rendered with the expression "Donkey shit" - his version of dankeschoen!

Sometime during the tour, Dave mentioned wanting to do a new album, so we decided to sort it out. A friend of mine in Hamburg was just building a new recording studio and we asked him if we could do a deal. He was more than chuffed at recording an album with Dave and so Dave, Tim and I began selecting material. Dave wanted to revamp some of his old stuff, but also thought it would be good to do some brand new songs. Tim and I spent a couple of weeks writing some new numbers and presented them to Dave, who really liked them. We recorded two of them for the new album: "Murder in the Peep Show" and "We're only here for the Blood". While we were in the studio, which was located very near to the notorious Reeperbahn, several big name artists were in Hamburg doing gigs, so I decided to go backstage and ask some of them if they had the time and would fancy making a guest appearance on Dave's latest album. I had spoken to Richie Blackmore one night in the Top Ten Club, as I thought it would be great to get one of Dave's old heavy friend's on the album, but he had to leave for a tour at the time we got into the studio.

So I asked Rick Nielsen, the guitarist with Cheap Trick (appearing at the newly re-opened Star Club), who just said: "Shit, yeah. Right after the gig? Sure thing. Can you bring me back to the hotel after?" That said, we drove him and his guitar in our old beaten up VW Beetle to the studio around midnight, he plugged in and played on almost all of the tracks, including some we just improvised in the studio. Rick was great and so enthusiastic and he and Dave got on like a house on fire. When we drove him back to his hotel (at about 6 am!), he just asked us to work out the legal side of his appearance and said how much he had enjoyed it.

The next night, Pat Travers and his band were in town, so we did the same thing again, only this time, Pat's bassist, Mars Cowling also wanted in on it, so, after the gig, we drove both of them down to the studio. Pat began playing this riff, we joined in - all live stuff - and "Travers Blues" evolved, which is also featured on the album.

Some of the photos on the back of the album sleeve we took in Hamburg. there was an exhibition on at a museum about ghouls and vampires, so we though it would make great backdrop. When the staff saw Dave dressed up in his usual attire and wielding a knife, they told us to sod off, but we still managed to get a few pictures done. Theres also a picture of Dave, Tim and I with Herbert, our recording engineer, in front of Dave's London home.

We had a whole bunch of talented people work on the album with us, like Klaus Voormann, who should be known to many and a weird, but cool French saxophonist called Richard Prut. We found a record company that went by the inspired title of Music Distributor, and their label, Babylon. Unfortunately, they had few outlets, so we didn't exactly go gold, but it was definitely another milestone in the life of one of our most illustrious artists - Lord Sutch!

I remember hearing of his death - it was really sad. He was such a funny fella, but there was sadness deep down inside too. Tim says he never got over the loss of his mum and that he probably decided to follow her. Wherever he is now, I bet he's got a shit-hot band."

Chris "Pluck", lead guitarist for the Undertakers, remembers:

"Happy memories of the Savages. I think it was 1998 or 1999 and I was playing in Hamburg as lead guitarist for the Undertakers. After wandering the streets of Hamburg for hours I decided to go downstairs to a little cellar club for a beer. The Undertakers carried on exploring and downstairs I was greeted by the Savages ( Sutchy was resting) who made me very welcome. Later on my band returned and a great night was had by all. We were all playing at a large venue in Hamburg the following night but we partied to the wee small hours. The pub was called the Rattenkeller and the Undertakers always visited it whenever we returned to Hamburg.
Great memories, have a good gig y'all,"
Chris

"Screaming" Lord Sutch first released his debut album in America in February 1970, where it sold 70,000 copies in one month; then in the U.K. in May.
The sleeve shows Dave Sutch posing on his Union Jack painted Rolls Royce drivin'.
In this is album he assembled a plethora of great rock musicians like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, John Bonham, Noel Redding, Nicky Hopkins... his "Heaviest Friends".

It was recorded during his 2nd stay in America from early 1968 to late 1969.
At that time, Dave Sutch traveled across America with his colorful Rolls Royce, playing at The Scene, The Cheetah, The Hullababaloo (Clubs in New-York, New England), and appearing on various TV shows such as Johnny Carson or Dick Clarke & Merv Griffin, backed up by The Beautiful Quality, including Ron Kellerman, who was the vice president of the Jerry Lee Lewis fan club.

Late October 1968, Sutch and Kellerman were in New York to see Led Zeppelin who were touring America too.
2 weeks later, on 10 November 1968 - the day of his 28th birthday - Dave Sutch started to write several of the tracks which would appear on this LP. He then enlisted guitarist Jimmy Page to help with his project. However the recording sessions only held from 24 April 1969 to 5 May 1969, at the Mystic Sound Studio in Los Angeles, California. Somehow, Page found the time between Led Zeppelin sessions at Mirror Sound, LA, to do just that, and he enlisted drummer John Bonham and bassist Daniel Edwards to bang along. They played on 6 numbers including "Baby Come Back", which was a transposed remake of Roy Head's "Treat Her Right." Also participating in the recording sessions were Noel Redding and Jeff Beck playing with 3 former members of the Savages: keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, drummer Carlo Little and bassist Rick Brown. "Gutty Guitar" was obviously recorded in 1964 by the original Savages minus Bernie Watson but Jeff Beck instead. In fact most of the recorded songs during this jam session were remakes. Jimmy Page and others accepted to play on these sessions with the promise of not to credit their names.

After the U.K. release of "Lord Sutch & Heavy Friends" in May 1970, Jimmy Page said that he'd been duped as to exactly what the album would be like. Five of the 12 songs were credited to himself, not only credited as composer, also as a producer, but Page insisted that he wasn't involved in any songwriting.

Jimmy Page:
"Last time we were in L.A., he came to me and said, 'I wish you could help me out.I've got a chance to make an album, and I've been in the business for 12 years.'
... I said, 'Look, I'll help you if I can.' "

Chris Welch wrote in the Melody Maker on April 25, 1970:

"With Jimmy Page and John Bonham thundering away on several tracks, it amounts to a bonus Zeppelinalbum."

Dave Sutch is quoted in the April 11, 1970, issue of the Melody Maker telling the reason why a plurality of the songs on his album consisted of Page-Sutch "originals:
"I made sure that we didn't make the mistake that all the other rock groups have made [in covering] old songs like 'C'mon Everybody,' 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Blue Suede Shoes.' That doesn't sell, because everybody's got 10 versions of it already. What we've done is modern rock 'n'roll with the real Zeppelin sound, that driving beat with loads of excitement. That Bonham is a tremendous drummer."

Jimmy Page is quoted in the Oct. 11, 1970, issue of Rock magazine:
"It was all fixed that I'd go down there and just do a bit, so we went down andplayed. And I just did some backing tracks to numbers like 'Good Golly MissMolly' and 'Roll Over Beethoven.' ... So, to cut a long story short, [Sutch]rewrote all the tunes."

Jimmy Page disavowed all responsibility for any of the guitar solos onthe album: "I didn't do any solos. No solos at all. I did a littlebit of wah-wah on one track ['Baby Come Back'], but I didn't do the solo inthe middle, which isn't a wah-wah thing; somebody else put that on....But - and this is where the criminal side of it comes in - he [Dave Sutch]didn't put 'Extra guitar: So and So' or 'Lead guitar played by So and So.' Heput 'Guitar....' So everybody thought, 'Oh, Jimmy Page played thatheap of crap,' and it became more than an embarrassment....He also wrote me in as producer, which was very nice of him. I wasn'tinterested in that. I just went down to have a laugh, playing some old rock'n' roll, a bit of a send-up. The whole joke sort of reversed itself andbecame ugly."

On 12 April 1970, Screaming Lord Sutch invited former members of the Savages to a jam at The Country Club, Hamstead, London: Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Nick Simper on bass, Matthew Fisher on organ, Brian Keith on trombone and Carlo Little on drums. Blackmore had just finished a 5-date tour of Scotland with Deep Purple. Simper, who had been elbowed from this band the previous Summer, didn’t want to do it… Periodic accompaniment was provided by other "Heavy Friends" such as Spencer Davis of The Spencer Davis Group, Keith Moon of The Who, Annette & Victor Brox or Saxophonist Sid Phillips aka "Sid Berry" (ex Cliff Bennett's Rebel Rousers). They were all between the Hands Of Jack The Ripper...

Caroline Boucher (Disc): "At The Country Club, the band was Brian Keith of Plastic Penny on trombone, Sid Berry (ex Cliff Bennett) on sax, Spencer Davis on guitar, Ritchie Blackmore and Nick Simper, with Matthew Fisher on organ and Carlo Little on drums. Periodic accompaniment was provided by Keith Moon after 2 hours of old rock numbers… Lord Sutch took the stage just after 9. He clearly had no intention of running an expensive band of Heavy Friends quality for live shows following this one-off. Those who attended future gigs hoping to see the star names from his LP may not have been best pleased. People turned up in droves to watch Screaming Lord Sutch chase members of an anonymous backing group around the stage with a mop."

Steve Rosen (Guitar Player): How did that post-Sutch album, Hands Of Jack The Ripper, happen?
Ritchie Blackmore: "Sutch phones me up and said "Do you fance playing tomorrow night?" I agreed and I came down with [keyboardist] Matt Fisher of Procol Harum, and we did just a night of playing. And I saw the recording equipment and thought, "He's doing it again." And he said here's $500 for playing tonight."

'The show must go on' by 'Wild Bob Burgos'....(Finland 1988)
"Myself and Lord Sutch were booked to play a show in Finland back in 1988, which meant that we couldn't take any of David's props,....(Axes, Choppers, Swords, Fire Equipment, Coffin etc, etc) as we had to take a flight from London's Heathrow Airport, and there was no way that we were going to be allowed to take these dangerous looking items on board with us, so we went very light handed, and took the flight with just our hand luggage.
On our arrival, we were taken to our hotel, and on the next day we were driven to this huge weekend festival where David was headlining on the saturday night. David was running around asking the promoters to find him some props for his show, as he always had plenty of back-up items on every gig that he played, but no one could help him with his crazy requests, and it was very amusing to see the expressions on all these guys faces when David asked for several Axes, Swords, Choppers, Coffin and items to start a fire on stage,...It was a time in my life that I shall never forget.
So it was time for us to go on stage and play,...The band before us came off, and on we went to a hungry 1500 teddy boy's cheer as the curtain went up. We screamed into a frenzy of Rock 'n' Roll up-tempo classic's, and then came the time for David to steal the show,...But he didn't have any of his props with him,...The stage was massive and there was nothing on it that he could use, and showing his true character that we all loved about him,...He looked up and noticed this extremely long curtain pole that was holding all the curtains up, he then jumped up onto one of the amplifier's and yanked it from the wall,.....All the cutains above came down on top of us, and the audience loved it,...The teds were going crazy, and when David hoisted the pole up and out into the croud, they held onto it, and it ended up being a 'tug of war situation,....With David finishing the night off that nobody will ever forget, because it nearly caused a riot, but he was the star on that weekend, and I shall never forget it, and the Finish teds won't either, cause i'm still reminded about it all these years later.
So who needs props when 'Screaming Lord Sutch' hits the stage,...The show must go on,....And so it did."

Last Gigs The Savages In 21th Century

2010-09-03T02:53:00.001-07:00

After the tragic death of David Sutch in June 1999, The Savages carried on, performing revival circuits (tributes to Joe Meek and Screaming Lord Sutch), fronted by bass player Tony Dangerfield.

When they were his backing band, The Savages used to do an opening set about 30 minutes before Screaming Lord Sutch came on stage.

The Savages at The Claddagh Ring, London, Sunday September 10th 2006

The last gig of The Savages with Tony Dangerfield took place at The Claddagh Ring, Hendon, London, on September 10th 2006.

The Savages performed 12 numbers that night. 12 Rock'n'Roll classics! Here is the set list from this gig:

Lucille
I Can Tell
Slow Down
My Babe
That's All Right Mama
Bo Diddley
Who Do You Love?
Slipin' and Slidin'
Honey Hush
Matchbox
Rocky Road Blues
Bye Bye Johnny

The line up was:

Tony Dangerfield................Lead Vocal & Bass
Angi Antinori......................Guitar
Dave "Dix" Thorncroft........Saxophone
Johnny Casanova..............Keyboards & Vocals
Jack Irving........................Drums

Sadly Tony Dangerfield, who worked alongwith David Sutch for more than Four decades, passed away in July 2007 and original bass player Ricky "Fenson" Brown was lined-up to take over bass duties but never performed with the band in this era.

The legendary band was lined-up to play at the Real Music Club, London in November 2008 but the gig was postponed 'til Summer 2009.

The Savages at the Boom Boom Club, Sutton, Friday July 24th 2009

Nicky Simper, original Deep Purple bass player, who first played with The Savages during The Summer Of Love '67, was back on bass for the 1st Savages gig post-Tony at the Boom Boom Club, Sutton, in July 2009. Bob Banjo stood in for Angi Antinori that night.

The line up was:

Johnny Casanova.....Lead Vocal & Keyboards
Bob Banjo................Guitar
Nicky Simper............Bass & Vocals
Jack Irving...............Drums

Jack Irving

1st Savages gig post-Tony WAS with Nicky Simper, it was last August and we were on the bill with Dear Alan Clayson, I think it was at Sutton Utd's social club... Rick Brown was suggested for bass but I think Nick is up for it aside with his other band(s)...

The set at the Boom Boom club was rock'n'roll classics. Johnny Casanova & I were joined by Nicky Simper on Bass & Bob Banjo on guitar. Unfortunately, we were unable to have Anjie Antinori on guitar that night due to unforseen circs. We shared the bill with Alan Clayson & his Argonauts. Alan had asked if we could do this gig at an earlier date but for reasons I can't remember this was postponed 'til last August or September. This was the first gig in a while as the Savages and, unfortunately, the last one so far but this is now being worked on as we have some targets we would like to achieve. E.G. There's the 50th anniversary of the Savages and we will be recording & gigging to celebrate this fact.

''LOONABILLY ROCK 'N' ROLL''

2010-08-24T05:24:00.000-07:00

'Loonabilly Rock 'n' Roll' (The Anthem)
Screaming Lord Sutch formed the Official Monster Raving Loony Party with Alan Hope (who was performing as "Kerry Rapid" in the early 60s) and drummer Wild Bob Burgos in 1981.
Its policy: having fun out of life.
Wild Bob Burgos wrote the official Party anthem: a song entitled 'Loonabilly Rock 'n' Roll', which featured on a limited edition 4-track single, first recorded in London, and released in October 1981 to launch the new Screaming Lord Sutch's party.
EP 'Loonabilly Rock 'n' Roll' was re-released in Britain in 1989 on RIDGEMOUNT label (RMR-45-010) with bonus track "Loon Party".

There must be more than 15 records that have been released when Wild Bob Burgos was with Screaming Lord Sutch..

Wild Bob Burgos
"'Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages' was a household name across Britain and throughout Europe for many years in the Pop / Rock 'n' Roll world.. .Screaming Lord Sutch was a very colourful character who always wanted to take his music and stage shows to a greater level. His love for theatre a Horror movies was the perfect combination for him to include on all his live concerts that proved very successful. Of course there were many people who thought David was completely out of his mind when he combined Horror with Rock 'n' Roll music, and so The Monster Raving Loony Party formed back in 1981. A friend of Davids for many years was a guy called Alan Hope who owned a large public house in the Devon area of England where we played many gigs.... This pub was to be the headquaters for Davids Loony Party for many years to follow, and so I wrote a song entitled 'Loonabilly Rock 'n' Roll' for David as an official Party anthem! Being the drummer of the Savages meant I had enough on my plate, and I wanted to concentrate more on the music with the band, but it was Alan and David who started the ball rolling for the Official Loony Party all those years ago. The Loony Party was for people who wanted fun out of life, colourful characters dressing up in whatever they chose to wear, and being Loony at the same time, and it became more successful than any of us imagined, and is still very popular today. To write about the 'Loony Party' and its whole history in the making, would take many months to complete, but the fun we all had back in those crazy but great Rock 'n' Roll days was really unbelievable, and it thrills me everytime I remember them!!"

or leave a message at the bottom of this page

Park Royal Hotel on Hangar Lane in June 1960

John S.

"I was amazed to see Sutch run in, dressed as King Neptune, covered in “Seaweed”, jump on a table amongst screaming girls, leap off, land in a heap on the floor and commence singing... He had very longhair, unusual in those days..."

Tour of Devon and Cornwall with The Playboys, 1960

Alan L.

"He act was general lunacy and quite funny. He couldn't sing, but just shouted ...

His stage show was really a visual performance of organised insanity. A real good laugh, but not much musical value..."

"I remember the jokes between songs inflicted upon the bewildered audience..."

Kirkonnell, Ireland, July 1st, 1961

Brian K.

"In Kirkconnel, The Savages were wearing orange shirts on Orange Day and had the wally get up on stage... A bloke got up on the stage and went towards the drummer, who just picked up his ride cymbal and smacked him on the forehead... his head opened up and there was blood everywhere so that started a riot and the band had to get out of the place with a police escort in the end".

At the Tower Ballroom in New Brighton, on Friday Jan 12th 1962

Adrian C.

"This bill was an extravaganza called 'Twist Around The Tower', advertised as: 'The Greatest Show on Merseyside. Starring Screaming Lord Sutch and his horde of Savages, with Mel Turner - King of Twist - and the Bandits... also a sensation Twist exhibition team, 'Mr Twist & the Twistettes.'
Bill toppers Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages finally failed to turn up and an unknown liverpuldian outfit appeared instead... the Beatles."

at the Railway Wealdstone, April 9th 1962

Colin S.

"We were all still at school and were very impressed, the band kicked off with some heavy riff instrumental. The guitarist and bassist has bleached white hair and held their guitars almost vertical, staring menacingly into the audience. Sutch's show included him leaping around with a red toilet seat around his neck. At one point he was standing on a chair, then one of the band came up with a broomstick and poked him up the bum and Sutch squealed, "ooh, is that you, Cliff?" "

Thurso Town Hall, Scotland,in February 1963

"As The Savages blasted into the ear-blistering intro to their current single I'm a Hog For You Baby, the curtain rose on a darkened stage on which a table stood supporting a coffin. Suddenly, the coffin lid opened and out sprang Lord Sutch, wrapped in a black Dracula cape, his face contorted in a maniacal leer, a top hat hiding his flowing locks. The madman was well and truly loose. A toilet seat round his neck, the noble one delivered a stream of hard-core belters including a rip-snorting version of Good Golly Miss Molly, before ending with his very own shock-rocker, Jack The Ripper, during which he roamed among the audience, a butcher's knife in one hand, a set of rubber entrails in the other."

At the Empire Hall, Totton, 1965

I saw Screaming Lord Sutch at the Empire Hall, Totton... When he burst onto the stage waving his knife around, at least six girls fainted crashed straight down on the floor...

At The Golf Drouot, France, on June 15th, 1965

Robert M.

"J'y étais", comme on dit, au Golf Drouot, le soir où il est passé dans le Temple du Rock'n'Roll de Paris.

Je me souviens de son van, avec sur le toit un énorme crocodile.

Son set, entrecoupé de poursuites avec ses musiciens avec une énorme hâche, duel avec épées, etc.

Ces musiciens, tous habillés avec chemises noires à gros pois blancs, jouaient très fort...

Les chemises noires à gros pois blancs m'avaient frappées à tel point que j'ai demandé à ma copine de l'époque qui travaillait dans le prêt-à-porter féminin, de me trouver la même, ce qu'elle a fait. Souvenirs souvenirs. Leurs longues roufflaquettes m'avaient aussi étonnées.

Son répertoire, des classics de Little Richard, et ses propres titres dont Jack The Ripper, of course.

... mes copains et moi connaissions Sutch car nous allions de temps à autres à Londres et avions trouvé ses singles.

Le vendredi soir, au Golf il y avait le Tremplin où se produisaient 4 ou 5 groupes amateurs ou semi-pro. J'y étais souvent.

Le samedi et le dimanche se produisaient un gagnant du Tremplin et un artiste pro comme Vince Taylor, Lord Sutch, etc."

Translation:

"I was there... at the Golf Drouot, the evening when he came to the Temple of Rock 'n' roll of Paris.

I remember his van with an enormous crocodile on the roof.

His set was interrupted with funny acts using various props: chasing his musicians with an huge axe, fancing swords, etc.

These musicians, all dressed with black shirts with big white peas, played very loud...

These black shirts with big white peas had knocked me so much that I asked my then girlfriend who worked in a clothes shop, to find me exactly the same, what she did. Sweet memories... They had long hair and long sideburns, and I was very amazed...

He sang some Little Richard's numbers, and some well known songs of his such as "Jack The Ripper", of course!

... My friends and I knew well Sutch because we often went to London and bought his record there.

On Fridays evenings, at the Golf there was a talent contest for amateur or semi-pro bands. I was there often.

On Saturdays and Sundays the winner supported established acts such as Vince Taylor, Lord Sutch, etc. "

At the Borough Hall, Hartlepool in June 1965

Alan L.

"when Lord Sutch appeared on stage he ran on with a scarlet coloured toilet seat round his head and was carrying a chopping axe!

.. the show they did with Lord Sutch was just a basic

four piece band with him. It was drums, bass, lead and rhythm guitar...

Lord Sutch did give me an autograph on the programme from that night."

Saturday 14/08/1965 - Berlin Waldbühne Club (Germany)

A German date at the Berlin Waldbühne Club, on a bill with The Kinks; the Pretty Things; Screaming Lord Sutch; The Fortunes; Johnny Kidd & The Pirates

Heike H.

"The concert at the open air arena before 20,000 spectators was billed 'The Show of the Year,' and with Screaming Lord Sutch and his Seven Savages performed the Fortunes, the Kinks and many others. The press predicted riots the day before: "Long-haired Englishmen strut their stuff on the Waldbühne tomorrow in the 'Show of the Year'.

It was Screaming Lord Sutch who actually inspired the riot, after the venue was secured with the appearance by mounted police bearing truncheons... although they did not have to intervene. Since no one at the gates was searched for potential projectiles, and people were permitted to bring bottles into the venue, the consequences were obvious. As Screaming Lord Sutch show took off during the evening performance, someone lobbed a life-sized straw doll onto the stage and set it on fire right on the wooden boards, and the fire brigade had to put it out... in the meantime one of the saxophonists was accidently injured. The crowd was beside itself, fans throwing bottles onto the stage, and many were injured."

Weser-Ems-Halle, Oldenburg, in 1965

Hans-Jürgen K.

"Sutch wanted to come on stage in his coffin, but due to fire regulations, the five-armed-candle holder was denied. Sutch was a bit miffed...

The event is a very conservative one, organized by local grammar school students. They are again allowed to use the largest hall, 5000 seats, in the area. The place is packed! Lord Sutch looks susceptible in his leopard suit and socks.

The gig begins, and Sutch, a bit miffed, nicks one of the firemen's helmets...

Sutch does his stage show, hacking away at things with his cardboard axe and a machete. The guy who has supplied the amplification doesn't like it at all, because Sutch is actually shredding one of the amplifiers with a machete.

Then Sutch grabs a fire extinguisher...A little squirmish begins.

Sutch starts to climb stage curtains. Policemen try to pull him down. There's a tear in the curtain suddenly. Sutch pulls out his rubber knife. One stewart doesn't realize it's a rubber knife, just a stage prop. Sutch is pulled down, one has got his leg, the other his arms etc.

Sutch comes free and is excited. He grabs one of the axes fastened to the walls in case of fire emergency - quite common in Germany have these axes on the walls in public buildings to crack down doors in case of fire - and hacks about him. An amplifier gets broken etc.

The gig is cut short. Sutch's money is partly kept to pay for the repairs.

The press advises the students to hire musicians who are more respectable than Lord Sutch..."

Ware (Herdfordshire), Late 1965

Bill P.

"The gig at Ware started to a packed hall with Screaming Lord Sutch nearly setting fire to the curtains during the song Great Balls of Fire, the music was fast and furious Rock and Roll, typical Screaming Lord Sutch, very loud, half way through the next number he was dragged off stage by the crowd and seemed to float on a sea of people and ended up out the front door, the drummer and others chassed after him thinking that he was going to be set upon by the local hard men... after a few minutes Sutch suddenly appeared back on stage and said were the FFF... is the rest of the band, he somehow had got free and made his way back to the stage, the drummer returned a few minutes later saying they had got him not realizing that Sutch was back on stage ready to continue... "

Opening night of The Piper Club, Viareggio, on July 17 1966

Giorgio D.

"Viareggio Piper Club open July 1966..

Screamin Lord Sutch - Patrick Samson Set - I Delfini - Thane Russal Three - Beau Brummel - Peeny Brown & Le Pupille - Patty Pravo..."

the opening fixed at 21 o’clock, all the musicians and spectators gathered on the wet docks before the mythical Galleon and then took part of a procession running to the Piper and heading the Carnival of Viareggio singing "love is beautiful".

We followed the procession happily: something was changing really. We arrived at the Piper, receiving to firework -but at the end we all entered and a great show started: Thane Russal who proved he was a true showman, the madman Screamin Lord Sutch who risked giving fire to the premises with his number of "fireman"...

"Four or five acts have been alternated on the stage, the Dolphins from Padu, the five Pupils, Mister Dynamite doing the duel with the plates, Lord Sutch dressed with leopard skin and two huge horns on his head, who was firing to safe and was slashing microphones and saxophones on the heads of the longhair ones and of Patty Pravo, the twenty years old one singer who was making the dance of the belly with the microphone..."

Screaming Lord Sutch & His Heavy Friends, The Hollywood Festival on Saturday May 23th 1970, in Madeley, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire

John H.

"I remember they were billed as Lord Sutch and His Heavy Friends... more than 8 musicians on stage... and appeared on Saturday afternoon before Mungo Jerry and Family... They started with "Great Balls of fire"... That particular number featured a fire on stage. "Cause I Love You" was the only one track from his album. "Jack the Ripper" saw David Sutch wielding an huge axe . The act closed with "Good Golly Miss Molly."

"They were no many well known faces to jam with him that day as it was advertised in some papers..."

At Bradford University in April 1977

Brian L.

"Very exciting stage act. Full of surprises... When David Sutch sang “Jack The Ripper” 8 or 9 girls stormed the stage and grabbed him... a woman had just been killed in Bradford by the Yorkshire ripper."

At the Hammersmith Palais, on June 22th 1981

Lord Sutch and the Savages opened for the Cramps at the Hammersmith Palais

Terry P.

"The place was packed this night.

Sutch’s show started with the Funeral March and a torch lit procession made its way across the stage... Great show: Lights dim, monks, topless nuns and a coffin... David Sutch appeared in his top hat and leopard skin coat... blaring horns, and screaming in the coffin prior to raving through gimmicky rock standards: Keep On Rockin’, Good Golly Miss Molly, Long Tall Sally, ‘Til The Following Night, I’m A Hog For You.... all nostalgic stuff... Also on the bill the Meteors and Red Beat..."

"The Savages went crazy that night... the bass player jumped on stage then throwed his bass guitar, it flied through the air to the side of the stage to be caught by their roadie. The crowd all think its part of the act..."

Personnel of The Savages

2010-06-12T03:27:00.001-07:00

The Savages were the backing band for the late Screaming Lord Sutch during 4 decades.
Between their formation in February 1960 and the decease of Dave Sutch in June 1999, hundreds of musicians have been through their ranks.
The Savages had been a breeding ground for many great luminaries of the British rock scene including, Nicky Hopkins, Freddie Fingers Lee, Matthew Fisher (Procol Harum), Ritchie Blackmore, Nick Simper (both of Deep Purple), Adrian Gurvitz (Gun), Danny McCulloch ect., but also for actors Paul Nicholas and Dave Adams.

When musicians joined his band, Screamin' Lord Sutch invariably changed their names:
Roger Mingay was known as "Scratch and Scrape Bailey"; Ken Payne as "Hopping Ken Rupert Payne"; Bernie Watson as "Strawberry"; Ritchie Blackmore as "Bluebell"; Tony Dangerfield as "Tulip".
All his pianists were called "Freddie Fingers Lee The Flea" - but Fred Cheeseman kept the name forever.
In fact, They were nicknames given to them by Tom Littlewood, Dave Sutch's manager in the early days.

However it's difficult to determine who were the true Savages because Dave Sutch sometimes used pick-up bands instead of the established line-up of Savages for financial reasons.
When The "Original" Savages couldnt make a gig or if the gig was up in the north of England, The northern Savages would step in to back Screamin' Lord Sutch from 1978.
Throughout the years, The Savages had so many different members and various line ups which usually lasted only some months (See "The line ups of The Savages" section).
Drummers "Wild" Bob Burgos, Carlo Little (who deputised for the Rolling Stones in the early days), and bass player Tony Dangerfield, were the longest serving Screaming Lord Sutch's sidemen. They considered The Savages as their Rock 'n' Roll spiritual home.
Curiously Screaming Lord Sutch well remembered some great names of the British Rock history such as Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Jeff Beck, Albert Lee, Mick Abrahams (Jethro Tull), Keith Moon (The Who), Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell both of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, as fleeting members of his band but he forgot less known Savages who even were very skilled musicians.

We have to distinguish "Regular" members from the "Occasional" Savages, who had only backed Dave Sutch once or twice (just depusing for unjuried musicians).
During his long career, Screaming Lord Sutch also worked with other well established bands (Vince Taylor's Playboys, The Flee Rekkers, The Echoes, TNT, The Houseshakers...) who didn't back him as his Savages.

The following list is NOT exhaustive. Sorry for people we'd forgotten.
In brackets: the years during which they were in The Savages [...]; and the other bands in which they were (...)

The Current Savages 'The Spiritual Home of Rock and Roll'

2010-05-27T07:02:00.001-07:00

THE SAVAGES in 2010 are:

Johnny Casanova, Keyboards, vocals (from Houston Texas USA)
Nick Simper, Bass (ex- Johnny Kidd's Pirates, Deep Purple and Warhorse)
Angi Antinori, Guitar (ex-Heidi /Currently with Map of China)
Jack Irving, Drums, vocals (ex-Heidi, Longdancer, Chanter, Bloodsport /Currently with Map of China)

After the death of David Sutch in June 1999, Guitarist Anji Antinori, Drummer Jack Irvin and bass player Tony Dangerfield continued to play together as The Savages, touring on their own across The World. The Savages weren't just a backing band. Don't forget that They used to do an opening set about 30 minutes before Screaming Lord Sutch came on stage.

They were joined by Texan keyboard player Johnny Casanova who was a former member of The Official Savages too. Sadly Tony Dangerfield, who worked alongwith David Sutch for more than Four decades (since early 1964!), passed away in July 2007 and original bass player Ricky "Fenson" Brown was lined-up to take over bass duties but never performed with the band in this era.

Nicky Simper, original Deep Purple bass player, who first played The Savages during The Summer Of Love '67, is back on bass.

This year 2010, It is the 50th year of The Savages and they are planning to do something a little bit special hopefully involving former band members and 'friends'.

The Current Savages are at last going back into the studio to start pre-production on the 50th anniversary project...

Johnny Casanova:

"We we will be getting together some new stuff...we are going to be putting down an album worth of trax which have had a 'savage' connection either through former members, or 'friends', having crossed paths.... the idea is that we get former players and friends and they play on tracks of course they did not play on with their bands (great names of British Rock history are guested)... this idea was given by the Rolling Stones office when i asked about Ronnie (Wood) and Keith (Richards), as 'friends'... The Savages are 'The spiritual home of rock and roll' whose heritage is second to none in the history of Rock and Roll. This band will keep right on rocking into eternity and beyond, real Savages don't stop rockin'!..."

Message from Johnny Casanova, current keyboard player and now lead vocalist, with The Savages

2010-04-13T08:19:00.001-07:00

"This is Johnny Casanova, Savages keyboard player who joined The Savages in 1995.
I first met David Sutch at a festival at Donnington in 1995 where he asked me to join him on stage and then join The Savages who were then Anji, Jack, Tony and Dave on sax.
I played 'official' Savages gigs from then on until his death in 1999 when he tended to be using the Carlo Little All Stars as there were 'problems' personally in his life which marginalised the official Savages - this was Anji, Jack and Tony. The Savages with these players did continue to play without Sutch, and I joined them when I could, and following the death of Sutch and Tony, The band today is Anji Antinori, Jack Irvin, myself and Nicky Simper (original Deep Purple bass player who first played The Savages during The Summer Of Love '67) is back on bass.

Many have thought they had been Savages when in a pickup band for David, however, it was always known by those around david who the 'official' line-up was, and that goes today.
It is 50 years of the Savages this year and plans are afoot. The Savages are 'the spiritual home of rock and roll' whose heritage is second to none in the history of Rock and Roll. Whatever David's shortcomings, he knew a good musician when he heard one, and he would ensure he had the best available behind him - and that has been born out over the years. To all who were there...once a Savage, always a Savage. salute"

Johnny Casanova's career, Before The Savages
"About Myself
I have been around the block some and travelled a great deal - something which is one of the benefits of this business.

Having been from the hill country in north east Texas, I flirted with the music scene in Houston, where i really got into the blues, being lucky enough to play with the likes of Grady Gaines, Joe 'guitar' Hughes, Trudy Lynn and a number of other great Texas Blues musicians.

When I went to London, I worked on shows with the likes of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Bo Diddley, Carlene Carter, then when I was in France, spent time with former Eurythmic, Dave Stewart, then some big charity shows in London which included Plant and Page, Bruce Dickinson, Adrian S Bill Duffy and Ian Astbury, Mica Paris; then had a recent release of an album which included former Savages Drummer Carlo Little as I was one of the All Stars, which also included Ronnie Wood, Jeff Beck, Long John Baldry, Matthew Fisher and Art Wood. It was a blast! At my own Club Jam in London I also played with the likes of Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch (The Shadows, on different occasions) and the great Albert Lee.
I also worked in theater where I played the part of Jerry Lee Lewis which I actually enjoyed although I did not think I would."

Wild Bob Burgos on his own words, for a fistful of drumbeats!

2010-04-13T08:14:00.000-07:00

Wild Bob Burgos is one of the most influential rock drummers of those last 4 decades, playing with highly accomplished Rock outfits such as 'Matchbox','The Dynamite Band', 'The Cruisers', 'Dave Travis Band', and 'The Houserockers'. He was the Drummer of The Savages for more than 23 years, since 1979. He backed Screaming Lord Sutch for more than two decades, between 1979 and 1993: with The Savages of course, but also 'Shotgun', 'Blackcat', The Freddie Fingers Lee band and 'The Helsinski Savages' ect.

His powerful sound was an integral part of Screaming Lord Sutch's shows. His solid hard driving beat was the heartbeat of The Savages. His spirited drumming, rooted in Rock’n’Roll, provided the energy that galvanised The Savages into action during all those decades. It gave the band not only a powerful kick but also a solid sense of purpose, unity and cohesion.

Wild Bob Burgos first met up with 'Screaming Lord Sutch' back in 1976, when on tour with Matchbox on the same bill as David. He first joined his band 'The Savages' in 1979, at 'The Top Rank Suite' ballroom, Plymouth.
He then recorded "Midnight Man", "Thumpin' Drum" and "Scream And Run" alongwith his pals from South London revival Rock’n’Roll band 'Shotgun', guitarist Iain Terry and bass player Rob Murly, supplemented by keyboardist Matthew Fisher (of Procol Harum), and by Saxophonists Kit Packham and Pete Thomas. Those 3 tracks were released 20 years later on of one of 'Screaming Lord Sutch' earliest C.D. releases, for Raucous records. Remember the sleeve where Dave Sutch is holding a huge axe.

Wild Bob Burgos also recorded on 'Screaming Lord Sutch' 4th album,"ROCK & HORROR", released in 1982, and on the E.P. featuring 'The Helsinski Savages', recorded in Finland, 6 years later.

In between gigs Wild Bob was also drumming with various 50s and 60s singers including Heinz and Buddy Knox. While he was drummer for The Dave Travis Band, in fall of 1982, he had the opportunity to back American pioneer Janis Martin at the Rock festival held at Ladbroke's, Perran Sands in Cornwall, England. She requested him back her 3 years later at the Weymouth Festival.

Janis Martin
"I personally had the honor of meeting Wild Bob and having his excellent backing in October of 1982 at the rock festival held at Ladbroke's, Perran Sands in Cornwall, England. An artist is only as good as the band that backs them and when I heard that SOLID, HARD-DRIVING beat behind me on stage, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven to have the privilege of being backed by so much raw talent coupled with excellent musicians that make up the group, "DAVE TRAVIS AND HIS BAD RIVER BAND".

"When I appeared at the Weymouth Festival in October 1985, I requested Wild Bob back me on several songs and again, he came through for me like the champion that he is".

Wild Bob Burgos also teamed up with former Savages pianist Freddie "Fingers" Lee, then with Blackcat for many years.
In 1989, he reunited with Graham Fenton in his new version of Matchbox. He now fronted his own band 'The Houserockers', breaking the house down!

Now let's read Wild Bob's recollection about his background, his powerful drum playing and his unforgettable days with Screaming Lord Sutch and The Savages. Wild Bob's really got Rhythm in his blood!

His Background - I grew up with music all around me
"I am self taught, but I had some great advice when I first started playing from an old friend who used to play drums,....I've always loved Rhythms,...I grew up with music all around me,...My Father was Spanish and there was always music in the house,...So I guess this is where it all started."

In the Savages for more than 23 years
"I first met up with David ('Screaming Lord Sutch') back in 1976,..I was playing drums with the band 'Matchbox' on the same bill as David, and we soon became good friends. He asked me to join his band 'The Savages' as his drummer was leaving,...But it wasnt until 1979 that I played my first gig with him.
My first gig with Screaming Lord Sutch was back in 1979, at a ball room in England called 'The Top Rank Suite' Plymouth!!

It was Iain Terry, Bob Burgos, Mathew Fisher, Rob Murly, Kit Packham and Pete Thomas that recorded the tracks on the 'Midnight Man' c.d.!...

I have played with 'Carlo Little' in a drumming duet with 'Dave Sutch and The Savages' in London back in 1983,...We often used to meet up back in those days, and became friends throughout the Savages years.

The 'Rock and Horror' album sold very well, and most of us went out on the road with Dave until the late 1980's.

I was in the Savages for more than 23 years...
"Many players came and went in those days, cause we were all in several bands at the same time and it was very hard to play with one band all the time,....We all had to make a living,...so playing with lots of bands was the best way to do it."

Drummer for Shotgun, Matchbox, 'Blackcat', The 'Wild Angels' The Freddie Fingers Lee band and 'The Houserockers'...
"The bands I was playing with before I joined 'The Savages' were Shotgun, Matchbox and The Freddie Fingers Lee band. I have also worked with 'Freddie Finges Lee' for more than 16 years. I was also a member of the 'Wild Angels' and many other bands during this time with The Savages, and touring with Chuck Berry and other American Rockers when I wasnt touring with David.
The band 'Blackcat' and 'Shotgun' also played behind David as his Savages on many shows back in the early days of the late 1970's and 1980's,....

These days I am usualy playing with my own band 'The Houserockers' around Germany, Finland, Sweden and Spain, and backing Rock 'n' Roll artists up on drums like ive always done

If you love something enough,...you have to give it your best shot
Regarding my drum playing,....I just play what I feel is right for the song. I know many styles of drumming cause I used to be a drum tutor many years ago. I believe that if you love something enough,...you have to give it your best shot, otherwise there is no point in doing it in the first place,...I love playing rhythms, and I love playing the drums!!
My heart and soul are put into all that I play and sing, and I feel every note, beat and chord when I am performing cause i'm real gone when it all kicks off,....Its a great feeling.
My favourite drums has to be 'Ludwig',...and 'Zildjian' cymbals,....ive always used them, and I always will."

Mitch Mitchell & Noel Redding before The Jimi Hendrix Experience

2009-11-06T09:15:00.000-08:00

Interviewed by journalist Richie Unterberger, Screaming Lord Sutch stated "I'm proud of the fact that so many of my Savages have gone on to much bigger things. Even Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, who went on to back Hendrix."
Would the bass player and the drummer of The Experience really meet up and be part of Screaming Lord Sutch’s Savages prior to auditioning for Jimi Hendrix in Autumn 1966?

To the question did he know Mitch Mitchell before he was in the Experience? Noel Redding answered to Richard Allen (Interview in 1997): “No, not at all.” So it occures that Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell first met while auditioning for Jimi Hendrix in October 1966. Even so Redding’s paths have crossed with Mitchell a year earlier:
Chris: their respective bands took part of the same package show in September 1965. At that time, Noel Redding was guitarist with a Kentish outfit called The Burnettes while Mitch Mitchell was drummer for The Coronets who backed actor and DJ Chris Sandford.
However Redding and Mitchell weren’t in the Savages at the same time.

Noel Redding (1945 - 2003)
Noel Redding featured in the albums that Screaming Lord Sutch later released: “Lord Sutch & his heavy friends” and “Hands of Jack The Ripper”, in the early 70’s.
On “Lord Sutch & his heavy friends”, Redding played bass on 3 numbers: “Thumping Beat”, “One for You, Baby” and “L-O-N-D-O-N”. “Thumping Beat” was recorded with guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer John Bonham, both of Led Zeppelin in 1969. “One for You, Baby” and “L-O-N-D-O-N” feature less known musicians alongside Redding: Kent Henrey on guitar and Bob Metke on drums.
When he took part of these recordings, Noel Redding had just left Jimi Hendrix and started putting a band called 'Fat Mattress' together with singer Neil Landon and bass player Jim Leverton who had been both part of The Burnettes. When Landon started a solo career in late 1965, the other members of the Burnettes changed their name to The Loving Kind, teaming up with vocalist Derek Knight who had previously been in The Lonely Ones alongwith Redding in the early 60’s. They released 3 singles for Piccadilly records. Screaming Lord Sutch remembered having been supported by the Burnettes and very impressed with their musicians. He then asked The Loving Kind to back him when he appeared at Folkestone's Leas Cliff Hall on a couple of occasions in early 1966.

Mitch Mitchell (1947 - 2008)
On the other hand, it’s more difficult to pinpoint when Mitch Mitchell was drummer for Screaming Lord Sutch.
Carlo Little, who was drummer with the Savages for more than 2 decades, remembered that when he met Jimi Hendrix in cafe The Blue Boar on the M1 "All the bands would congregate there on their way back and forwards from gigs. It was just before The Experience hit the big time and they must have been touring to get themselves known. Well, Mitch Mitchell the drummer, who used to come and watch me in the early days, recognised me. He came over with Jimi and introduced me as 'the guy who started it all off for me'. "

Before joining The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchell had already had moderate success in Britain with some of the country's top groups, having played in Pete Nelson & the Travellers, Chris Sandford & The Coronets, the Artwoods, the Riot Squad, and Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames. He even stood in for Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, Tony Colton & The Crawdaddies, the Who, The Pretty Things and Shotgun Express.

In the early 60’s, he used to work in Jim Marshall’s music store, London, and put a band called the Soul Messengers together with other shop boys.

He was also a prolific session drummer working for producers Les Reed, Joe Meek and Denny Cordell.
If Noel Redding had worked with Jimmy Page and John Bonham while recording Sutch’s debut album, Mitch Mitchell often recorded also with Jimmy Page and another future Led Zeppelin, bassist John Paul Jones on some recording sessions for Denny Cordell (e.g.Ian Whitcomb, Brebda Lee).
Mitchell first worked for Joe Meek with the Riot Squad then The Tornados. However Meek didn’t appreciate his original way of drumming and threatened him with a shotgun: ‘If you don’t do it properly I’ll blow your fucking head off’." Knowing that Screaming Lord Sutch’s first releases were produced by Meek, Mitch Mitchell probably would have worked with his Savages about that time, alongside Ritchie Blackmore.

RADIO SUTCH

2009-05-29T09:48:00.000-07:00

Pictured Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages on the Cornucopia on the Thames, in front of London Bridge, May 1964
left to right: Terry King (Kings Agency), David Sutch, Brian Paul (road manager), Candy Calvert (13 year old broadcaster), Reg Calvert (Sutch's manager) with the Savages, dressed in animal skins and stone age gear - Pete Phillips (drums), ‘Pussy’ Mews (lead guitar), John (the band’s roadie), Paul Dean and Ronnie (bass guitar). At the back is Screaming Lord Sutch pictured on a kite.

Radio Sutch launched at the end of May 1964 from Shivering Sands anti-aircraft fort in the Thames - "Britain’s First Teenage Radio Station" on 194 metres (1542khz).

Brian Paul was the road manager of ‘Screaming’ Lord Sutch who used him for publicity. Sutch's manager, Reg Calvert took the idea of the launch a pirate radio station seriously. So Brian found himself roped into becoming a broadcaster.

First, they decided to do a gimmick to promote Sutch by hiring a fishing trawler Cornucopia and having a Rock’n’Roll party with the Savages and friends on the Thames. They sailed “through London playing Rock’n’Roll - saying that this was Radio Sutch.”

As his daughter, Susan recalls, Reg Calvert had always dreamed of having his own local radio station – “and when the family moved to Clifton Hall - near Rugby - he applied for a Radio Broadcasting licence - although at the time - no one in the country was allowed to run commercial radio.”

“When Radio Caroline started (using 'Caroline' as the theme tune which was recorded by the Fortunes, a group my father managed), Reg knew that his dream could become reality - if he had enough money! Unfortunately - he had just spent all his 'spare' cash trying to get a nightclub started at Loughborough.”

“Dave and my father sat in the car all evening - outside the Co-op Hall in Nuneaton on a Saturday night just after Radio Caroline first broadcast, planning how they could have a station.
On the way home, he was really excited. They couldn't afford to have a 'ship' suitable to run a radio station from - but they were going to hire a boat on the Thames and had a Rock’n’Roll party with the Savages and friends - and do another publicity stunt for David - saying it was Radio Sutch.”
Again - great publicity - which made Screaming Lord Sutch even more 'famous.'

In fact, Screaming Lord Sutch had been using this boat during 2 weeks, to anchor off Shoeburyness in the Thames estuary he broadcast as Radio Sutch, until he discovered the Shivering Sands army fort.

Susan:
“A little later - my father discovered the war time forts in the Thames estuary - and he and Dave went out and messed about trying to do a broadcast with bits and pieces from the Towers - as a bit of a lark and publicity campaign. David however - soon lost interest and back to performing - but my father was determined to make it a success. He decided to carry on and changed the name to RADIO CITY.”

In late May 1964, along with the Savages, dressed in animal skins and stone-age gear, Sutch set sail from Leigh-On-Sea, Essex on board the Lowestoft registered fishing trawler The Cornucopia. Along with the motley crew, a large amount of equipment and supplies were taken aboard for later use in the station's new base.

Sutch's party boarded the tower, and began transferring the supplies and equipment for the station from The Cornucopia.
On the last trip in from broadcasting on the Cornocopia Sutch and his crew spotted the old wartime gun platforms at Shivering Sands.

On 27th May 1964, Radio Sutch was back on the air with it's first track being Screaming Lord Sutch's very own Jack The Ripper.

In September 1964, fed up with the bureaucratic side of running a pirate radio station (due to touring and recording commitments), Screaming Lord Sutch sold the station to his manager Reg Calvert who changed the name of the station to Radio City and installed new, and better equipment. A new more powerful transmitter was installed and over the months that followed the station gradually grew in power, in proficiency and in revenue.

Unfortunately this big adventure ended with Reg Calvert’s death, 2 years later.
It was a tragic loss not only for Reg's family and friends but also for the whole British music scene and entertainment. It signalled the beginning of the end for British offshore radio as the killing spurred the Government into legislative action.
BBC Radio One started to broadcast in September 1967, using the disc-jockeys from the former pirate radios and playing pop music for the younger audience.

Thanks to Dorothy Calvert and Susan Moore (nee Calvert), respectively Reg Calvert’s widow and daughter for their recollections and photographs

If you want to know more about the subject, Susan Moore has just completed writing a musical play 'THE SCHOOL OF ROCK & ROLL' and the 'DEATH OF PIRATE RADIO.'

Susan Moore (nee Calvert)
I remember him very well. He used to come to stay at Clifton Hall with us. He was quite a character - and my father got on with him very well. They 'bounced' ideas off each other.

My mother disliked David. She thought he was 'dirty' i.e. he didn't bath enough - and she disliked his greasy black hair that was tied back in a pony tail. Unusual for the times - as all the other singers had short well groomed hair. All the other singers and musicians used their own kitchen - which adjoined our kitchen, and knocked the door when they wanted to come into our 'family' kitchen. David however, had no respect for this, and would come and sit with us in our kitchen - much to my mother's disapproval. Dad did not mind - and we would talk about anything and everything.

I remember my Dad and David planning the first political campaign - round the kitchen table. We thought it was a crazy idea! 18 year olds would never get the vote!! They really enjoyed the politics - and did it as a one-off publicity campaign for David - never expecting him to carry on with the Monster Raving Party.

My father used to pay for most things - David rarely contributed to anything and I believe he didn't pay commission either for the bookings he had.

After this we moved from Clifton Hall - and I didn't see David again.

Reg Calvert (1928 – 1966)

2009-05-29T09:45:00.000-07:00

Until 1966, Screaming Lord Sutch was managed by Reg Calvert who was one of the great hustlers of the fifties and sixties music scene, managing a stable of solo singers and succesful groups – The Fortunes, the Rocking Berries amongst them. Reg Calvert was also responsible for the political career of Screaming Lord Sutch by suggesting him to stand for parliament after the Profumo affair in 1963. The following year, the two of them ventured to run commercial radios, offering teenagers programmes different from those usually broadcasted on the BBC - sadly it was a partnership with a tragic ending.

Screaming Lord Sutch was just one of the several acts that Reg Calvert managed since the mid 1950's. Alongside Larry Parnes and Don Arden, Reg was one of the main figures in the emerging British Rock scene. Contrary to his two main rivals, he paid his protégés a basic wage with all there living accommodation and food as part of the contract. He was one of the first to import Rock & Roll music from the U.S.A. such as Bill Haley and Chuck Berry in Europe. He was also the first in the U.K. to run 'rock and roll' dances for teenagers and open air rock concerts.

Reg Calvert started out as a qualified hairdresser then ran a sweet shop in Northam, Southampton, and later a sweet stall on local fairgrounds. In the evenings, to earn extra money, he played the piano in local clubs and also compered for the big bands.

When the arrival of american Rock & Roll music captured the teenager public's imagination in the mid 1950's, he tried to persuade the managers of the dancehalls to play it instead of Big Bands.
His idea was first to use the fairground’s Dodgem Bumper Car track as travelling dancehall all over the country.
He started to use the expression 'teenager' to promote his dances.
Then he searched all over the south and London for good musicians and singers to form into bands and found dancehalls to put his proper 'shows' on - with variety, comedy and competitions. Star drummer Rory Blackwell, Marty Wilde and Cliff Richard came onto the scene.

In the late 1950's, he ran various dance halls round the Midlands where he booked a few theme and copycat acts, on of the first to do look alike bands. The Nevitt Brothers or the Dowlands which were Everly Brothers sounding duos. Buddy Britain & the Regents, were a Buddy Holly tribute acts. Danny Storm was a Cliff Richard look-alike plastered etc.
Most of Reg Calvert's bands lived at one of his houses in Clifton Hall, near Rugby, where they practised by day.
His other old Southampton town house in Portland Terrace was housing a small printing firm in the basement by the name of ‘Hartex’and producing advertising leaflets, flyers and posters.

In the early Sixties more and more bands wanted Reg Calvert to manage them including Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages, so he started an agency in London with Terry King, called “Kings Agency”.

From the 9th to the 12th of May 1962, Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages did a 3 day Tour for Reg Calvert.
Ritchie Blackmore made his debut with the Savages during this tour. He and drummer Carlo Little were paid each other £16.

Dorothy Calvert recalls the beginning of their partnership with Screaming Lord Sutch:
“David was booked to play In Exmouth the first time he worked for us. At that time I was running the Devon venues and it was quite something when David drove up in a van that was coverted to carrying racks of clothes. He worked for us a lot and was always good entertainment. He had a book where he made a note of the acts so that he didn`t repeat tham if he was booked again.”

The following year, Reg Calvert and Screaming Lord Sutch plotted a fantastic publicity campaign during the Profumo affair. Reg Calvert suggested Sutch to stand for parliament at the The Stratford-upon-Avon By Election in august 1963. Dorothy Calvert came up with the idea that his campaign should be for 'Votes for 18 year olds.'
And that was the first Screaming Lord Sutch’s political campaign, the first of his long political career that carried on with the Monster Raving Party.

Dorothy Calvert :
“He was playing at Nuneaton for Reg when the news about Profumo broke and Reg Suggested that he stood for parliament as a publicity stunt. That was a lot of work for Reg and me as David didn’t have a clue.”

Then Screaming Lord Sutch decided to launch himself into the pirate radio field circa 1964.
Radio Sutch launched at the end of May 1964 from Shivering Sands anti-aircraft fort in the Thames but originally it was Reg Calvert’s own idea.
As his daughter, Susan recalls, Reg had always dreamed of having his own local radio station – “and when the family moved to Clifton Hall - he applied for a Radio Broadcasting licence.”

“When Radio Caroline started (using the Fortunes song 'Caroline' as the theme tune) in early 1964, Reg knew that his dream could become reality.”
“Reg and Dave Sutch planned a new publicity campaign - as neither of them could afford to have a 'ship' suitable to run a radio station from.” So they hired a fishing trawler Cornucopia on the Thames and sailed through London, having a Rock’n’Roll party with the Savages and friends - saying it was 'Radio Sutch.'

In fact, Screaming Lord Sutch had been using this boat during 2 weeks, to anchor off Shoeburyness in the Thames estuary he broadcast as Radio Sutch, until he discovered the Shivering Sands army fort.

In September 1964, Reg Calvert bought out Screaming Lord Sutch and changed the name of the station to Radio City. A new more powerful transmitter was installed and over the months that followed the station gradually grew in power, in proficiency and in revenue.

In June 1965, Reg Calvert suggested Screaming Lord Sutch once again to stand at Huyton, in prime minister Harold Wilson’s constituency.

By 1966, Radio City began to re-broadcast Caroline's news and plug some of the bigger station's programmes.
A certain Major Oliver Smedley, a chartered accountant, who ran a station called Radio Atlanta, persuaded Reg Calvert that he would provide a much more powerful transmitter and they could go into partnership together.
The transmitter was delivered to the fort, intended to be used by Caroline when it jumped ship. But the merger plans collapsed.

Reg Calvert and Caroline's great rival, Radio London decided to launch a new sweet music station from the fort - To be called UKGM (United Kingdom Good Music).

Smedley claimed ownership of the transmitter and, on the night of 19th/20th June 1966 sent a group of burly dock workers to take possession of Shivering Sands. They surprised the sleeping occupants and locked the disc-jockeys and engineers out of their studio. Smedley wanted his transmitter back or he wanted a piece of the UKGM deal. So that evening Reg Calvert took with him money to pay off the boarders but unfortunately was shot dead when visiting Smedley's home.
This tragic loss signalled the beginning of the end for British offshore radio as the killing spurred the Government into legislative action. BBC Radio One started to broadcast the following year using the disc-jockeys from the former pirate radios and playing pop music for the younger audience.

Nevertheless, Reg Calvert was well ahead of his time and the concepts he pioneered changed the style and direction not only of the British music scene and entertainment but also British politics forever.

Thanks to Dorothy Calvert and Susan Moore (nee Calvert), respectively Reg Calvert’s widow and daughter for their recollections and photographs
Susan Moore has just completed writing a musical play 'THE SCHOOL OF ROCK & ROLL' and the 'DEATH OF PIRATE RADIO.'

Celebrity singers and performers were booked into the shows including the Billy Fury, The Rolling Stones and the Beatles.

Screaming Lord Sutch & his Savages were recording their 4th single "Dracula's Daughter"/"Come Back Baby" with legendary independent producer Joe Meek, in RGM Studios, on 306 Holloway Road, London, in 1964.

Joe Meek had produced "Telstar" by the Tornados that had been an international for them, in 1962/3. They were first british band who topped the american charts, a year before the Beatles (although Vera Lynn had also a number hit with "Auf Wiedersehen" in 1952, but she wasn't a band).

Most of Screaming Lord Sutch's releases have been produced by Joe Meek. From his debut single "Till the Following Night" to "Honey Hush"/"The Train Kept Rollin' " in 1965.

Joe Meek even penned a number with J. Goddard for Screaming Lord Sutch, "Monster in Black Tights", a little bit inspired by Jimmy Clanton's "Venus in Jeans", in 1963.

Unfortunately, they failed to chart and Joe Meek tragically passed away in 1967.

Amongst the session musicians he used: Mitch Mitchell, later drummer with Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page (see chapter about him) and Jeff Beck.

Jeff is often credited playing lead guitar on "Dracula's Daughter", although Geoff Mew, the then-current Savages guitarist, did play lead on this number. Beck only played on the B-side.

As usual Meek distorted the original sounds with some effects such as compressions and overdubbings.

Dave Sutch actually met up Dave Sutch while touring in 1961:

When I went in a 2I’s package tour with Adam Faith and Joe Brown, we toured round the Country. There was a talent scout who gave me a card for somebody by the name of Joe Meek. So I phoned up and the guy said “Come over – I’ve heard all about you, your wild stage show. What material have you got that’s not been recorded? I had this number called “My Big Black Coffin” that I’d written. We put it together and recorded it”.

Screaming Lord Sutch & The Savages perfermed at the Borough Hall, Hartlepool sometime in 1965.
They were backed by local outfit, The Toffees
Their lead guitarist Alan Lindridge remembers that “when Lord Sutch appeared on stage he ran on with a scarlet coloured toilet seat round his head and was carrying a chopping axe!”

Screaming Lord Sutch did give him an autograph on the programme from that night.

WHO WAS SCREAMING LORD SUTCH?

2008-10-14T06:24:00.001-07:00

AN ALL BLACK & HAIRY MAN IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS (1940 – 1999)

Screaming Lord Sutch was probably one of the most eccentric and outrageous performers who appeared in Britain during the last century, with his 18 inch long hair since the early Sixties, his amazing make-ups, his trademark lame top hat and leopardskin jacket festooned with rosettes and badges. The non-conformist entertainer remained a real thorn in the side of the Establishment for over 3 decades.

Between 1963 and 1999, he was also one the UK's longest serving political leader, heading The 'Sod Em All Party', The 'Go To Blazes Party' and the Monster Raving Loony Party. But of course he never came close to winning an election. Even though some of the policies he advocated in the Sixties were later adopted by the mainstream parties: the right to vote at 18, abolishing the 11-plus school exams, all-day pub opening etc.

His enigmatic and colourful character was in fact the mixture of various influences:

inspired by illusionist Max Miller, Dave Sutch was always dressing up in magicians' cloaks and top hats while his musicians were wearing animal skins and stone-age gear as Wee Willy Harris did at The 2 I's; and like Screamin' Jay Hawkins, he had builded an horror act with morbid props such as coffin, skulls, fire ect...

Sutch inspired himself a host of long-forgotten imitators such as e.g. Karl & The Vampires, Count Lindsay the 3rd & The Skeletons, Frankestein & The Monsters, Ray Satan & The Devils or the French rocker "Hector The Chopin of Twist". He would eventually influence more well known acts such as Arthur Brown, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne and Marilyn Manson among others.

DISCOGRAPHY

2008-10-14T06:21:00.000-07:00

Screamin’ Lord Sutch released about 20 singles and 4 LPs in Britain during his career.

During late 70s and 80s most of them were renditions of his old 60s standards.

Various lineups of the Savages backed him on 8 of them. The seven first were produced by Joe Meek at Holloway Road Studios. His debut album was released in 1970, with the little help of his heavy friends. The last one was released in 1982, also with brilliant guest musicians.

THE STORY OF THE SAVAGES

2008-10-14T06:05:00.000-07:00

The Savages were the long serving Screaming Lord Sutch sidemen from February 1960 to June 1999.
Many rock legends such as Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Adrian Gurvitz, Mick Abrahams, Tony Dangerfield, Nicky Hopkins or Freddie "Fingers Lee" and even movie actors such as Paul Nicholas passed through their ranks and started out with them.

Dave Sutch was a real talent-spotter in the British music scene and went through musicians pretty quickly an must have employed hundreds, a lot of them did their apprenticeships with the Savages whose lineups comprised mostly a lead guitarist, a bass player, a drummer and a pianist or saxophonists.

They used to carry his lordship on stage in a “Big Black Coffin” and back him first wearing orange shirts, white cowboy boots and black pants as the band uniform, and then dressed as cavemen with animal skins as well as stone-age gear.

On stage Screaming Lord Sutch used to perform very visual acts with the members of his band, chasing them with big a knife or an huge axe, stabing them before flinging heart and liver (bought from the butchers) into the audience, and sword fencing etc... They played the perfect backing for his repertory of horror songs.

Thus they contributed to the evolution of Rock and even generally Pop music, not only playing very loud - powerful drummings sounding like a cannon - but also bringing musical innovations such as fuzz box to produce their wailing guitar sound.

Originally they were formed by Dave Sutch and drummer Carlo Little in early 1960, after they had met up at The Cannibal Pot Coffee Bar in Sudbury's Harrow Road. At that time, Little was fresh out of the national service, and Sutch proposed him to get a Rock & Roll group together whom he would be the manager.
Carlo Little recruited teenager classically trained musicians between 15 and 16 year old: pianist, Nicky Hopkins, guitarists Bernie Watson and Rick Brown (aka Fenson). They were all from Wembley area, North London.
Initially the plan was to be an instrumental band just copying American records but one day, Bernie Watson managed to get a wailing sound out of his guitar - and Sutch started leaping around and screaming, shaking his head, then letting his hair fall down and all over his face. So Carlo Little suggested him to be the singer and the frontman of the band. His stage name “Screaming Lord Sutch” derived from the fact that he could not sing, but only scream.

In June 1960, after rehearsing during Three months, they got their first gig in Camberley for a Bob Potter.
Their material then was essentially made of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Elvis Presley numbers.
Dave Sutch came up with the name The Savages, inspired by The Shadows record hit during summer 1960, “Apache”. However soon after Screaming Lord Sutch and The Original Savages parted company when Carlo Little decided to join another local band. That was the beginning of a long story about the unstable and ever-changing Savages' lineups over years.

After the tragic death of David Sutch in 1999, The Savages carried on, performing revival circuits (tributes to Joe Meek and Screaming Lord Sutch), first fronted by bass player Tony Dangerfield, who, unfortunately passed away in Summer 2007, then by Texan keyboard player Johnny Casanova.

The gig lined-up on November 15th, 2008, at the Real Music Club, London, was postponed till July 24th, 2009 at the Boom Boom Club, Sutton, and Nicky Simper, founder member of Deep Purple, was back on bass for the 1st Savages gig post-Tony Dangerfield there, with Bob Banjo standing-in for Angi Antinori.

The legendary band will play the Gorleston Pavilion on next Halloween, with Dave Dix guesting on saxes, more than 50 years after its formation!
