The Early
Gigs: Dates
Carlo kept a detailed log of all his early gigs and how
much he was paid, recorded in an invoice book from May 1961. He was
paid in old English pounds and shillings. You can see from the
amount of gigs and travelling that The Savages must have been one of
the hardest working bands on the circuit at the time. Venues are
unknown but if anyone knows, please email.

* Town Hall
** Carlo did not put
a complete entry here but it may have been a continuation of filming at
the 2is in Soho
*** 'Calvert' may refer to Reg Calvert, Screaming Lord Sutch's
manager
**** Railway Hotel. Support band Kit & The Saracens member
Colin Standring: "We were all still at school and were
very impressed, the band kicked off with some heavy riff
instrumental. The guitarist and bassist has bleached white hair
and held their guitars almost vertical, staring menacingly into
the audience. Sutch's show included him leaping around with a
red toilet seat around his neck. At one point he was standing on
a chair, then one of the band came up with a broomstick and
poked him up the bum and Sutch squealed, "ooh, is that you,
Cliff?" ".
***** Keith Moon was at this gig and approached Carlo backstage to
ask for drum lessons
****** Town Hall
******* Single Jack
The Ripper / Don't You Just Know It, produced by Joe Meek
******** According to some
sources, Carlo played this gig with The Stones but he
did not list it in his payments book
