the ghost goes gear (1966)


"A ghost!"
The Spencer Davis Group find out their manager Al Rice (Nicholas Parsons), is actually the Rt. Honorable Algernon Rowthorpe Plumley, when they visit his ancestral home, a run down haunted manor. Finding the family are on their uppers they suggest opening the house to the public. Cue a 'gear' happening featuring tea on the lawn and lots of groups.
Passable fluff that's little more than a showcase for SDG's soulful pop, along with those of the M.5, St. Louis Union, Sheila White, The Three Bells, and Acker Bilk etc.
