Thread Name: 2017 Obit: Malcolm Price (M PriceTrio)
Subject: RE: anyone remember Malcolm Price Trio?
I was searching for 'Malcolm Price' on the web and stumbled on this blog. I remember Malcolm (but not the trio) very well. I, plus a couple of friends were the organisers and residents at 'The Rovers Folk Club' in Bishop's Stortford in the very late 60s and early 70s. Malcolm was our guest artist on many occasions. At the time I used to play an 'Eko' 12-string guitar and talking to Malcolm I mentioned I wanted a better instrument. He told me he was selling his Gibson B45-12 (the one on the cover of 'Malcolm Price - His Songs and His Guitars' LP) as he wanted to raise funds to buy a ticket to the USA to try to break into the 'music scene' there. He also told me he had bought it from Keith Potger of the The Seekers. Well, I bought that box (for £100 in 1971) and I still have it today and play it regularly. Years later I got into contact with Keith Potger and he confirmed that it was the one he had used in the original recordings of The Seekers hits 'I'll Never Find Another You' & 'World of Our Own' so the guitar has a great history. If anyone has an email address for Malcolm I would like to get in touch with him again.
