Alan Haven departs

The loss of Alan Haven

We sadly report the death of pop-organist Alan Haven.  Broadcaster Alan Ashton has reminded us of a past interview.


 

Extract from Wikipedia:

Alan Haven (1 April 1935 - 7 Jan 2016), born in Prestwich, Lancashire, United Kingdom) was an English jazz organist.

He was known for his collaborations with John Barry in the James Bond films From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964), the comedy film A Jolly Bad Fellow (1964), and in the Richard Lester film The Knack …and How to Get It (1965). He released a single from the Lester film, but is perhaps best known for the single Image in 1965 (originally recorded by The Hank Levine Orchestra), which was frequently used as a theme tune on the offshore radio station Radio Caroline and also featured in the 1965 horror film The Night Caller. His early work was performed on a Lowrey organ.
