HAPPENING!
The
Who’s proposed new single, “Circles”, is cancelled.
Shel
Talmy announces that he’s taking legal action against Robert Stigwood’s
Reaction label, who claim to have signed Talmy protégés The Who.
Donovan’s
“Sunshine Superman” single is pulled from Pye’s release schedule while
Donovan is in dispute with his management.
Members
of 3 Birmingham beat groups, Mike Sheridan & The Nightriders, Carl Wayne
& The Vikings and Danny King &the Mayfair Set, combine to form a new
quintet, The Move.
Irish
group Them had undergone several changes of personnel over the preceding
couple of years; so many in fact, that some of the ex-members got together
and, under the management of the eccentric Reg Calvert, named themselves
Them. Calvert registered Them Ltd as a copyrighted name, an act that caused
Van Morrison’s manager, Phil Solomon, to retaliate and copyright the names
of two of Calvert’s other groups, The Fortunes and Pinkerton’s Assorted
Colours and give them to two unknown Irish groups.
Liverpool’s
Cavern Club is declared bankrupt and closes.
The
Troggs sign a five year management deal with Larry Page.
Arthur
Brown disbands his R&B group, the Union and forms the Arthur Brown Set
to fulfil a residency at The Moulin Rouge Club in Paris. One night in his
hotel Arthur found a crown with candles on it. He started to wear it and
everybody seemed to like it…
