Free Concert

1970 Megeve/ France
Gringo...
I love this one as there is a story behind it.
Gringo were playing a club in the famous ski resort , and were thrown out of the venue for being too loud. Our manager of the time Tony Cox , went to the mayor of Megeve ,offering a free concert in the town square. To our amazement the mayor not only gave the thumbs up, but had a stage built and advertised the event throughout the town.
The result is captured well in this photograph.
John Perry is in the foreground, Casey Synge , Gringo's singer in the Hot Pants is centre stage and I'm in the background , on lead guitar.
The other fond memory of this occasion is my forming of a firm friendship with Phil Pickett who is somewhere in that crowd.
It was a couple of years later that he came to me with the offer of joining what eventually became Sailor.
