bill putt & the lost souls r

April '15 Bill Putt and The Lost Souls Story Bill's first band was the Mystics, (1964-'65) whose claim to fame was a New Faces appearance (pic 3). Then came The Lost Souls, (1965 - '68), who won Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds in 1966, and a recording session with Pat Aulton that resulted in the release of the Souls' first and only single, This Life Of Mine on the Festival label. (Incidentally, the single was picked up for the prestigious Rhino Nugget series). When I first came across Bill (and Mark Kennedy), they were playing in an outfit called Gallery (1968 - '69) Until I can find out more, revel in the strange beauty of the accompanying photos, including one very brooding shot of a moustache-less Putt sporting enormous winkle-pickers..
