Saw The Troggs at The Neeld Hall in Chippenham in 1966, just after Wild Thing had made the top ten. Neeld Hall didn't usually have such well known acts for their dances on a Saturday night, but the The Troggs had been booked, and fairplay to them, they honoured the booking in spite of their recent success.

Often referred to as "Andover's Troggs", they were probably the most famous thing to come out of Andover.

Sorry to hear Reg has gone so relatively young. RIP.
