RE: Roy Tempest
Home
Hi I'm Alan Lockwood I worked as a booker with The Tempest Agency in the early 60's with Lorna (his girlfriend) We brought all the Motown acts into the UK which I am sure you saw in your part of the world
Roy was a hustler of the first order and it was when he tried to com me out of commission for booking everything into the Top Ten Club Hamburg that we parted company. All his vehicles were insured in my name and I just cancelled the policies..... great days.

Hi Alan
I am an author of a forthcoming book about the music business in the sixties and seventies and saw your blog and wondered whether you would agree to tell me about the Roy Tempest Agency. My email address is keith@haywardkj.fsnet.co.uk
Many thanks
