GUEST,Betsy Obit: Singer Kathy Kirby - May 2011 (22) RE: Obit: Singer Kathy Kirby - May 2011 30 May 11


Dear me - the whole point of my earlier posting was, that we, "The Mystics " aka "the Mistakes" did the warm up spot for her at her gig.
Vin on rhythm guitar - I was the singer.
As an aside she was reputedly paid £300 for her performance .
Doesn't sound much now but it was a phenomenal amount in those days , if you bear in mind that our group had 5 members , a manager and a van AND "we" got , £6 (yes six pounds) IN TOTAL for the group.
The manager told us, he took the booking as a prestige gig, and which he explained, meant that there wasn't a large fee involved ,but it was great exposure.
When Vin and I asked for our quid (£) each we were told by the manager that the van needed some sort of repair so we received nothing.
Oh happy days - wouldn't have missed the occasion - been there done it - wotta laugh.
RIP Kathy , for a superstar at the time, she was really pleasant to us daft young lads
