Proby’s shoes were
famous in the Sixties.
They were hand made
and matched his velvet
suits. He had seven sets
of different colors. Often,
at the end of the show,
P.J. would throw his
shoes into the audience.
Girls that were so lucky
to catch one usually still
hang on to it till this day.
The one shoe on the photo
was recently sold on eBay
to Lee and Leanne in Australia.
The original programme of the P.J. Proby “Farewell” Tour
from March 1966, before P.J. had to return to the States,
because his work permit expired on 1 April.
P.J. Proby was backed by his full Orchestra.
The Searchers were the main support act and closed the first half.
Other acts were “Shirley and Johnny”, “Thane Russel and Three”,
“The Action”. Brighton’s rock band “Shelley” -known for their
ability to get the crowd on their feet - preceded Proby.
Compere Tony Marsh - here with his dog Nickers - sadly died
in the Eighties.
The Tour started at Birmingham Town Hall (12th March 1966).
Other dates: Bristol Colston Hall (15th March 1966),
Newcastle City Hall (18th March 1966),
Sheffield City Hall (19th March 1966),
De Montfort Hall Leicester (21st March 1966) and
Liverpool Empire (27th March 1966).
(The Sorrows replaced The Action at the Newcastle date).
Another Sixties momentum:
P.J. Proby & Gerry Marsden
together in The States for a
Shindig Show, June 1965.
Listen to Proby and Gerry
each singing
You’ll Never Walk Alone
in the Sixties!
Just click on their photos below...
and here you can listen to The Searchers, singing Ain’t Gonna Kiss Ya live in 1964, written by James Marcus Smith, aka P.J. Proby!
