788 Years Of Rock 'n' Roll (2012) - Vince Eager
1950s British Rock 'n' Roll original Vince Eager presents his new album, featuring a host of guest rockers including Marty Wilde, Chas Hodges, Albert Lee and others.
Eager rose to stardom in the late 50s with release on the Decca, Parlophone and Top Rank labels, going on to become a favourite on national TV shows like Jack Good's Oh Boy! and Drumbeat.
Vince and his all-star line-up of rockin' legends sound great today, and this album will be a welcome release for his fans and collectors of Great British Rock 'n' Roll.
ONE of the earliest entries in Pete Clemons’s 50-year rock diary is January 28, 1960, when American stars Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent joined Britain’s Vince Eager in a rock ‘n’ roll package assembled by impresario Larry Parnes. Their show at the old Gaumont was part of a trail-blazing tour that ended in tragedy as Cochran, who had established himself with hits like Summetime Blues, C’mon Everybody and Somethin’ Else, was killed in a car crash in Chippenham on April 17.
January 30: a special anniversary concert just over the road from the original venue at the SQ Club, in Whitefriars Street. Vince Eager performed along others as stated on the poster.

2 I's Reunion Gig # 1
In 1958, the Vagabonds (Brian 'Liquorice' Locking on bass, Roy Clark on guitar and vocals, Mick Fretwell on washboard and drums and Roy Taylor (later Vince Eager) on guitar and lead vocal) entered the grandly-named World Skiffle Championships which saw them reach the televised final on BBC Television's "Come Dancing". A disappointing second place did not deter the boys and they were offered a residency at the famous 2 I's Coffee Bar in London's West End. It was not long before they were booked by pop Svengali Larry Parnes, manager of Tommy Steele and Marty Wilde, for a Sunday concert in Coventry. According to common consent, Vince was the star of the show! Photos by Shanghai Fred who was lucky to attend, thanks for letting me use. 
met up after 45 years. I saw Vince Eager also on a Hogan's Heroes gig in summer 2008 at The Stetson, Ravenshead, when he came to see the band. Albert dedicated one song to him.
