A live concert recorded to produce Adge Cutler's second Family Album, The audience were treated to cider 'on the house' - this must have helped with the atmosphere! The pub could only hold around 100 people, but around 500 turned up hoping to get in to see the band (and maybe get some of that free scrumpy?!). There was a riot outside the pub and a brick was thrown through the window!

Mervyn Hancock, author of the book Wurzels World, records booking Adge Cutler & The Wurzels with Fred Wedlock and Joan O'Brien for a concert in his home town. It cost him £125 to book the acts from The John Miles Organisation - a small fortune to risk for a junior journalist in those days. Luckily the place was packed and he made a small profit!

The live concert which provided the material for the Cutler of the West album. By this time Adge's popularity was such that a bigger venue than the Royal Oak was needed. The band was preceded on the record by an announcement from the Webbington compere Mike Reasons and a play-on Drink Up Thy Zider from the house band.

The Crystal Rooms, Hereford

Adge Cutler & The Wurzels played their last ever gigs as a week-long residency at the Crystal Rooms in Hereford; Adge died on his way back from the concert. I am guessing that the show ran from the Monday to the Saturday, and that Adge's death is recorded on the morning of Sunday May 5th.
