IT was like a 60s remembrance parade as we filed into Salisbury City Hall to salute those frontline stars from that golden era of pop.

P J Proby, who first hit the charts and headlines with his trouser-splitting act, won a standing ovation from his army of fans.

It is nearly 40 years since he turned such classics as Somewhere and Maria into instant hits but his voice is as powerful as ever.

The Texan shared the bill with The Troggs, Herman's Hermits and The Ivy League who between them produced more than 50 hit singles.

Local boys, The Troggs, with their irrepressible leader Reg Presley, brought this feast of pure 60s gold to a rousing end.

Reg still has all the enthusiasm of a teenager rock 'n' roller. He is rightly proud of the fact that it was he and his Troggs who turned Love Is All Around into Britain's biggest single.
