The story was told by session drummer Clem Cattini when he appeared on Tracks of my Years on the Ken Bruce show a few years ago. He was in the bus with them at the time.
Now I think about it, it was about a band in which Georgie Fame was a member before forming his own group. He apparently thought of the name "Blue Flames" because of that incident. It will almost certainly still be available on BBC Sounds if you search.
