An old friend of mine did the stage lighting when The Animals performed at the Palace Theatre, Southend.
That was very generous, and I'm sorry to hear his time's up.An old friend of mine did the stage lighting when The Animals performed at the Palace Theatre, Southend.
After the show, he was asked by a woman for his name and address.
From then on, he received regular cheques - as a share in the royalty payments for 'House Of The Rising Sun'
Seems it was their way of showing appreciation - and it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke (who sadly died a couple of weeks ago).
