Lloyd Alexander Real Estate

Welcome to another posting of a series of gig listings for 1960s bands. None of these lists is exhaustive and my idea is to add to them in the comments section below over time. They are here for future researchers to draw on.  I have also added a few interesting bits of information and will add images in time.

I’d like to encourage band members to get in touch to share memories, or for anyone to send corrections/clarifications to my email: Warchive@aol.com 

Equally important, if you attended any of the gigs below or played in the support band, please do leave your memories below in the comments section for future historians to use. If you know of any missing gigs, please add them too, if possible, with the sources.

  1. Hi there, bit of a blast from the past ! My name is Bill Cox, lead singer of The Lloyd Alexander Real Estate !

    1. I am sure I used to watch you as the Blue Dukes and as Lloyd Alexander Real Estate in the mid 1960s at Wickford Youth Club. You were the best band by far at the time.

  2. I saw The Lloyd Alexander Real Estate in the mid ’60’s at The Cambridge, Edmonton. Saw them two or three times at this venue and I believe they had a different name the first time I saw them, can you confirm this please.

  3. I used to see them at the Cambridge Edmonton was a great night fantastic music had a special sound as i remember
