Love The Originals I'm proud to say I was there for their one and only UK appearance at the Manchester Ritz to celebrate Richard Searling's birthday, let me tell you - they are fecking brilliant live. Sadly, Freddie Gorman (the lead singer) has since died.

My girlfriend at the time was just to my right, I guess this will have been during the early hours sometime .... Jimmy Conwell was also on that night but The Originals were a hard act to follow.

Snake Davis and The Suspicions were their backing band that night. The played the full repertoire that night, including "Don't Stop Now", a track that was big on the Crossover scene for a while, even though it was actually a 60s recording.
