I still have Sutch's first 6 singles. I first saw Sutch in September 1962 in I think The Assembly Hall in Barnet, with what I consider to be the best line up of the Savages which included a scrawny shy 17 year old Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. The following year The Savages included Geoff Mew on guitar and Freddie Fingers Lee on piano in the Territorial Army Hall in Barnet, a huge cavern of a place. By the next time I saw Sutch he had recruited most of Paul Dean & the Dreamers as Savages with original bass player Rick Brown - they were a good line up. Next was the 4 saxes Savages with Ritchie Blackmore once again who I saw at a cinema in Potters Bar, I never thought Sutch came over too well in a large venue. Final time in 60s was at a club in East London as Lord Caesar Sutch & the Roman Empire, Ritchie Blackmore had just left unfortunately and his replacement on guitar was not up to standard.

Never saw him again until early 1980s with Glen Stoner on guitar who was good but the others were forgettable.

Only Sutch could get away with performing on stage with a lavatory seat around his neck!!
