A Physician with A Musical Mission with Hank Wangford

Hank Wangford in conversation with David Eastaugh His first writing credit (as Sam Hutt) was on a Sarah Miles 1965 single "Where Am I". His first recording was credited as Boeing Duveen &amp; The Beautiful Soup with "Jabberwock"/"Which Dreamed It" issued on UK Parlophone R 5696 in May 1968. He is co-credited as the writer as "Sam Hutt" on both sides together with Lewis Carroll, the songs are adapted. Hutt's family background is radical: his father Allen (a journalist and expert on the history of printing) was a lifelong Communist. During the NUM miners strike in 1984/85, the Hank Wangford Band toured extensively with Billy Bragg and the Frank Chickens as "Hank, Frank and Billy" performing at trade-union benefit and anti-racist gigs. It was during such a benefit for the Greater London Council (GLC) in 1984 that Hank and the band were attacked on stage by a group of right-wing skinheads, an event that has been immortalised in the song "On The Line".

Hank Wangford special 

Country singer Hank Wangford has always had one foot in medicine and one foot in music, which is why he became known as the Rock N Roll Doctor. During the sixties &amp; seventies Hank served as a personal doctor to the likes of Keith Moon, Keith Richards &amp; Gram Parsons - Gram was actually responsible for switching Hank on to country music and inspiring his career as a country singer. In this week's episode of Life In The Stocks, Hanks shares his incredible life story with Matt, from growing up with overtly communist parents to studying medicine at Cambridge University, to living in Soho in the swinging sixties and campaigning for the legalisation of cannabis with The Beatles, through to the story of how he became the Roll N Roll Doctor which eventually led to his career as alternative country music star Hank Wangford.
