This is an interesting 2002 biography and about Alan's love of football.

Quote from biography
"It is hard to do justice to the Alan Price story, even in a couple
of thousand words. He still performs regularly, 50-plus concerts a year.
The hits are included but his band is no jaded nostalgia act."

- wish it was true that he is still doing shows as I notice this was written in 2002
but even so very interesting to read.

Other point I noticed - Alan says he is now teetotal.
Good for him - nothing better than nice cup of tea

It's true now Rebekka!!

Alan is doing live shows

Yesterday Tony posted a link on some kind of early biography of Alan Price to the Facebook group. I don't know whether all the fans are there too (I know Tony, Holly, lullaby and I are there ) and I also don't know whether Tony visits the Forum once in a while, that's why I'd like to put the link here hope he doesn't mind.

BTW that site has our link

Thank you, Tony, for the link (if you happen to be here)

Very good piece to sort out all that tangled history! And to think that Alan was only with the Animals for about a year and half -- if they started with the classic line-up in September 1963, re-named themselves the Animals in December 1963, started recording Jan/Feb 1964, and he left April 1965. Gosh! Seems ironic that people still refer to him as the Animals' organist, when it was such a tiny slice of his life.

A really excellent interview with Alan where he talks about the early days playing around Newcastle:
