Mainstay of the Manchester music scene in the late 70s with his regular appearances at the Band on The Wall.
Surprised t learn he was only 80 as he seemed to be ancient even back then

He was already a veteran in 1968 (on organ/vocal with ADR):
Saw the ADR many times in the late 60s – always a good night!
“…Victor began a study of Indigenous Australian music, painstakingly written by hand, but this was blown up in a controlled explosion at London Stansted airport in 2003 when Victor left it unattended and it was mistaken for a suspicious package.” Bummer, man…
I bought his first record – he was only 21 or so, sounds a lot older.
Daughter can sing a bit, so will keep the family name going.
Interesting lyrics explain why she too treads the stages of dingy blues clubs….
He sang on one of the early soundtracks of Jesus Christ Superstar and I had to learn his song for a show I was in at college. Great voice! His, that is.
Indeed, he was on the original studio recording of JCS, its very first iteration in 1970, in the role of Caiaphas.
