Waah!, great bloke!, used to see them back in around 73/4 and that guitar playing on his old Telecaster was superb, and the 1000 yard stare!.
Remember seeing them in Cambridge once at the Uni there and some jobsworth turned the power off and their drummer the Big Figure managed to keep hammering the drums for around a half hour before he collapsed with exhaustion and the tumultuous cheer from the crowd. Only regret i had was never seeing them play on their home turf, a good and probably the only reason to go to Canvey Island!
Excellent brand of sound that was, ISTR them calling it Rhythm and Booze and there was a sure lot of that:-)
There was a benefit gig he played at the Junction venue in Cambridge for the addenbrookes charitable trust where he had his surgery at Addenbrookes hospital, and it was sold out the moment tickets went on sale and it was said they could have sold 10 times over such was the interest and demand:)
