Same, can't believe he was still bashing out an album every couple of years until last year! He 'made' a lot of people.

Mayall and Long John Baldry were responsible for the careers of many an artist of the 60s and 70s. Maybe not all associated with blues music, but certainly got a grounding in it that stood them in good stead.

I was going to quote Alexis Korner, but Cyril Davies is a new name for me.

I’d 100% recommend Cyril to anyone excited by what was going on blues/R&B-wise in London in 61-64. Give me a shottie of TARDIS, and I’d be back there, then stop off in Memphis in ‘68 to tell Elvis to get rid of Lamar Fike and the other Graceland hangers-on, before nipping down to Stax studios on McLemore Avenue to whisper in Otis Redding’s lug, “Dinna go on that flight, min”.

EDIT: Trying to send pics which are refusing to load. What fùckery’s this NOW, Sibo, min?

Recommend “Preachin’ The Blues: The Cyril Davies Memorial Album”. Two discs (CD) fifty tracks Great Voices Of The Century 2014 GVC2040. You’re welcome.

I'm not a huge blues/R&B lover, but do like a lot of the music from the era due to the general excitement of the era and what it produced. I've read loads of books on the era too, which has also whetted my appetite for it over the years and increased my knowledge of it. The stories of the bands/personnel are as legendary as the actual music being made.

I shall certainly be tracking down some Cyril Davies.

If you’ve not already devoured it, Andrew Humphreys’s ‘Raving Upon Thames’ is a comprehensive look at Richmond, and Eel Pie Island as the scene there developed from jazz via blues and soul and Proper Mannies’ R&B, to something of an all-encompassing mélange.

Edna O’Brien, classy Irish writer (93). Wrote dizzens.

The Country Girls is probably best known.

The film’s ace too.

RIP quine.

Graham Thorpe, stylish but gritty batsman (‘batter’ is what coats haddock, reed puddens and mock chops in the chipper - fanny batter is a different flavour, but is haddock-like in aroma) for Surrey and England.

A mere youth at 55.

Jeez that's sad. Just a year older than me. Scary. Saw a few masterful innings from him over the years.

On a side note - are you familiar with Roy's son Nick? There is one hell of a guitarist, especially when seeing him live - something I have had the pleasure and fortune to do on a number of occasions. I don't use the term lightly but he is a true genius!

The Harper moniker is almost certain, it seems, to associate itself with genius. Joe (obviously), Harper Lee, and even the Harper Motor Company in toon sold a nae bad Consul or Zephyr in its day.

Never, ever purchase your Haddocks from the supermarket as they are always of a certain vintage, Vintage! 😅

Not my department. I have people to perform these tasks for me.
