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.

According to Ged Peck, guitarist with the Flowerpot Men, during the time with this band, "we played absolutely everywhere, including Denmark and Holland. We often played at Northern Clubs in Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, and Sunderland."
"You note that Carlo earned £0.00 in June. Not so. He was in Switzerland with me working for David Garrick. We ditched the FPM when we were asked to back Garrick. They couldn't guarantee future work whilst Garrick could. Carlo needed the money for his wedding in June, so there was no choice. However, whilst we - me and Tex Makins - wanted to stay, Carlo wanted to come home. The FPM wanted Carlo to come back and he did, at first working in Bristol with the former Pirates guitarist Mickey Stuart (?) However, he didn't fit in and Carlo phoned me to give me my 'orders' about getting to Bristol. However, I wouldn't go back. I'd had enough."
