You name them and they probably played the town – a venue that really counted back in the 1960s.


The big names would play Top Of The Pops live on a Thursday evening then whiz on down to the coast to play at Worthing's legendary Golden Key Club that same night.


Supporting them all was Worthing-born-and-bred Trevor Payne with his band The Profile – an experience that led in a roundabout way a couple of decades later to the creation of his That'll Be The Day show, a show now the longest-running one-nighter in the country.


Appropriately, it always goes down a storm in Worthing, especially in its Christmas version which Trevor brings to the Assembly Hall at 7.45pm on Saturday, December 29 and Sunday, December 30.


His musical career began on leaving school back in the days when most kids joined a band of some sort.


Trevor came close to playing professional football and enjoyed the swinging '60s in London as a model. But it was in Worthing where it all began.
