Ian Hunter’s first brush with celebrity came in the early 1960s when he met Freddie Fingers Lee, formerly the keyboard player with Screaming Lord Sutch And The Savages.
“Sutch wasn’t employing him, cos he’d fallen off stage in Liverpool with a piano,” Hunter says now. “He was back doing steel erecting, and I just happened to meet him in the pub. He wasn’t famous in the eyes of the rest of the world, but to me he was really famous.”
