With Vince Eager (Roy Taylor)
Life After Eurovision - Following from the talk given to us in May 2022 about ‘The Early Days of Rock & Roll in Grantham’, Vince continues his tale describing the problems he had during the 1960 Eurovision Song Contest. How his image was changed just prior to transmission which resulted in him receiving death threats following his performance. How Joe Brown and Vince came up with a cheeky idea that helped the lady dancers kick higher. How he had to choose between becoming Elvis or Alvin Stardust. The Hollywood megastar whose blushes he helped to save when she had a dress malfunction. Being chosen as the support artist for the biggest rock n’ roll tour ever in 1960 and how one of the American stars of the show became his best pal, but only for four months."
Doors open at 6:30pm.
All are welcome to attend: there is no charge for entry.
