One of the best wild men from the 50's and even more outrageous than Elvis at the time,I'm surprised that he's lasted this long what all of the drugs n booze he's had during his life,I can only think of Jerry Lee Lewis that's left now that truly changed music as we knew it |  |

If you can find it on YouTube that 1 hour show he did in 1964 for Granada TV is well worth watching. One of the best live performances I've ever seen.
He played at the " Cubi-Klub " in Rochdale about the same time. [Post edited 9 May 2020 16:54]

Best music to play in a helicopter when going to take out some South American rebels and an intergalactic hunter. |  |

I could afford a ticket for myself but not for my girlfriend at the time. So I didn't go. Mistakes I have made. It was a whole 10/- ! I only got 12/6 on my paper round. | | | |

Ok,c`mon,who did we all see at the Kubiclub back in the day? I remember seeing Donovan and the brilliant Peddlers with Roy Philips their singer and keyboards man. Didn`t even bother going to see the Stones,everybody knew there was going to be a riot. | | | |

'Elvis is the King of Rock N' Roll and I am the Queen'...! Brilliant. A couple of his songs were/are popular on the Northern Soul circuit like 'I don't want to discuss it' or 'Poor Dog'

" I Don't Know What You've Got ( But It's Got Me ) " . Written by Don Covay was a soul classic. | | | |

I went to see The Stones non appearance. Ones I did see were The Kinks, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. Jimmy Powell with Rod Stewart on Harmonica. Alexis Korner with Eric Clapton on guitar and Long John Baldry on vocals. Little Eva, Jimmy Witherspoon, Lots of other lesser band and groups. Best act out of all of them - The Rocking Berries - unbelieveably good musicians and also very funny. | | | |

Who owned the Kubi Club,how long did it last and why did it close? Fading memories for me I`m afraid. | | | |

It was owned by a larger than life character called Clive Kelly. Look him up on the internet. He lives in Brazil now I think. He once tried taking The Stones to court over there when they played in Rio for " breach of contract " because they wouldn't go on stage at the Cubi. He said at the time that he'd been left out of pocket because he'd had to refund everybody after the no show.
That's a load of rubbish, I was there and I didn't get a refund, neither did anyone else I know. I stopped going about autumn 1965 when I started work. We started going to the Twisted Wheel and The Oasis, Jungfrau, CWS etc and the Cubi was starting to fall out of fashion.
Kelly was a chancer who just ran out of steam. The club opened in April 1964 with that Stones gig and I reckon it lasted about 2 years before closing. He had some great acts on in the early days though. Bo Diddley, Spencer Davis, Donovan, Screaming Jay Hawkins.
Imagine being able to see international headline acts in Rochdale now !
Those were the days ! | | | |

Also for Northern Soulies are "A Little Bit of Something, Is better than nothing" and his version of "Function at the Junction"
Try the album "Get Down With It" the Okeh Sessions, originally recorded in 1967 | | | |

Wow,thanks for everybody`s input. I guess I should`ve known the owner was a Scouser as I recall the almost resident band was David John and the Mood who were from Liverpool,or at least they played at the Cubikclub quite often. Amazing times alright. | | | |

My elder sister was into the Kubi Club and Twisted Wheel scene. She ran the Black Cat Bones fan club. ( Paul Kossof and Simon Kirke. Later to become the core of Free) |  | | |

Ah, Free
Probably my favourite band from that era
I believe Paul Rodgers is still touring with Simon Kirke, saw them at the Apollo a few years ago
Expect your sister (like many others) was devastated when Kossoff died
