Putt and The Lost Souls Story
Bill's first band was the
Mystics, (1964-'65) whose claim to fame was
a New Faces appearance (pic 3). Then came
The Lost Souls, (1965 - '68), who won Hoadley's
Battle of the Sounds in 1966, and a
recording session with Pat Aulton that
resulted in the release of the Souls' first and only
single, This Life Of Mine on a Festival label.
(Incidentally, the single was picked up recently
for the prestigious Rhino
Nugget series). When I
first came across Bill (and Mark Kennedy), they were
playing in an outfit called Gallery
(1968 - '69) Until I can find out more, revel in the
strange beauty of the accompanying photos, including
one very brooding shot of a moustache-less Putt sporting
enormous winkle-pickers.. Scary ain't it?
