Last updated 09:14, Saturday, 17 May 2008
A DEFINITIVE hardback collectable book titled The Alan Bown Set – Before and Beyond, by Jeff Bannister, has recently been published. During the Sixties John Barry, composer and musical director of the James Bond films and other blockbusters, appointed Alan Bown to lead The John Barry Seven. From the nucleus of this band, two years later Alan formed Alan Bown Set, who had fans throughout the UK including many in Cumbria.
They often appeared on the same bill as bands like Cream, Fleetwood Mac, The Who and The Small Faces. A great read for all Sixties rockers. Log on to www.banlandpublishing.com for more details.
