Alan Price Set

Alan Price, a self-taught keyboardist, first gained prominence as a founding member of the Tyneside group The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, later known as The Animals. His distinctive keyboard playing was instrumental to the band's international success, particularly on their hit rendition of the traditional folk song "House of the Rising Sun," an arrangement that became more widely recognized than its predecessors.

Price departed The Animals in May 1965 to establish The Alan Price Set. This new ensemble featured Price on keyboards and vocals, supported by Clive Burrows on baritone saxophone, Steve Gregory on tenor saxophone, John Walters on trumpet, Peter Kirtlry on guitar, Rod "Boots" Slade on bass guitar, and "Little" Roy Mills on drums. In the same year, Price was featured in the documentary film Dont Look Back, which chronicled Bob Dylan's concert tour.
