Les Vogt was the lead singer of the very first rock and roll recording band The Prowlers. In 1960 his record 'The Blamers' was #1 for 11 weeks on the Vancouver charts, knocking Elvis Presley's 'It's Now Or Never' out of top spot. Les opens up to Dan Hare about: the lack of music scene and biz in the '50s and '60s; his biggest regret as a performer; moving from performer to booking agent; managing and befriending Roy Orbison; why he turned down Brian Epstein and The Beatles; partnering with Buddy Knox; the very first tribute show and why it came about; success as a promoter of tribute shows, and much, much more.
