The Rock And Roll Singer

[Deleted]

Is the following documentary Missing?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSDSand-6IY

Was it made by an ITV station or BBC 1 or 2.

He comes across as almost shy, but affable and approachable.

..has Gene in one ME episode of Boy Meets Girls and 6  ME of Thank Your Lucky Stars, but
uk imdb has him in 5 episodes of Boy Meets Girls and 10 episodes of Thank Your Lucky Stars, as well as a ME of Ollie & Fred's Five O' Club 20/3/64.. can anyone confirm this as correct?
How extensive were his UK tours, did he venture into Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, did he appear on local ITV/BBC stations?

Hi Simon,

This is a start; Gene Vincent was on The Five O'Clock Club on the 20/03/64

this is from the TV Times (Midland Edition)...



I'll try and get some of the other information if I can?

cheers
William

It's not missing. It dates from 1969, if I remember, two years before his death, and just before he recorded for Dandelion Records. I believe a flown in clip from 'Today' (Thames) is in the film, even though it was an ITV show.
