By Sebastian O'kelly PUBLISHED: 20:14 EST, 5 February 2013 | UPDATED: 06:58 EST, 6 February 2013 There were two pivotal events in 1974 in the life of Reg Presley, legendary lead singer of The Troggs, who died of lung cancer this week at the age of 71. The first, which I witnessed, took place at Farnborough College of Technology in Hampshire, where I was studying. The Troggs, having had a series of hits in the Sixties, were then at their career nadir, playing a college gig for a fee that would have amounted to no more than £100.
