TOMS RIGG - Performing Contract March 25 1966 UK The Le Nautique, Glangfflo Rhyle, N.Wales

Tom's Rigg
Tom's Rigg "The Spirits", haunted by their failure to make headway, had a change of line up and a change of name to Tom's Rigg. The original bass player was replaced by Phil Carney, Pete Kay stepped in on bass and Tommy Rigby joined on vocals, thus the name. They were a talented five-piece R&B band with a large female following, thanks to the rugged good looks of their lead singer Tommy Rigby.

The band recorded a Louisiana Red number entitled "Red's Dream". Tommy gave a passionate rendition with an energetic harp solo worthy of someone much more experienced. The flipside was Jimmy Reed's "Hush Hush" with vocals by their drummer Barry 'Louie' Crew.
