The Brian Auger Trinity were a regular act at the original Twisted Wheel on Brazennose Street, Manchester. Brian Auger was responsible for nurturing several performers who went on to become very successful including Rod Stewart, Long John Baldry and Julie Driscoll.
He was a talented pianist turned organist who crossed over from jazz to blues and R and B in the early sixties.
His Trinity became Steampacket in 1965 and This Wheel's On Fire (written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko and originally recorded by The Band) which featured Julie Driscoll's vocals is still often heard today.
