At one time he was playing in three bands and at the same time holding down a job as a tax inspector. He and Eric Burdon used to go round the clubs as if they were in a Western. Eric used to sit in the band and sing the blues while Alan would play the piano and before long the five piece Alan Price Combo had started a regular R & B night at the Downbeat club in Newcastle. The first night there were only six people there then the word spread and the next night there were about 600 and it wasn't long before the fans were referring to them as 'the animals' because of their wild antics on stage. In 1963 The Animals, as they'd renamed themselves moved to the larger Club A -Go-Go and within a year they'd topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with their version of House of the Rising Sun which Alan had heard on a Bob Dylan album
