21st January 1967

A sterling line-up, including Spencer Davis, Bonzos and Jimmy James, for the Tech Union's early gigs of 1967. Were the financial wobbles of '66 behind them?

Manchester cultural historian and musician Dr CP Lee was heavily influenced and inspired by seeing Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. In an exclusive interview for this project, he described the Bonzos' shows as 'relentless' and 'crammed with ideas' - every moment was a 'happening'. He took this ethos into his band Albertos Y Lost Trios Paranoias.
