He was a real ambassador for America and represented the best of us to the world through his show. Huge loss, especially when this country is on the way down the toilet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kirwan was in the line-up I saw in 196?? at a club called The Top Rank in Dale End and they played good old fashioned R & B; not the garbage that is known as 'R & B' today. The original members included Jeremy Spencer , I think , and can't remember if DK replaced him or was in addition to. All this was well before Peter Green went slightly odd and they brought in Christine Perfect (from Bearwood) Lindsay Buckingham and that rude - looking Stevie Nix ! Incidentally The Top Rank became The Hummingbird IIRC and was run by a relative of an ex-Villa centre half. It was closed down after suspicion of 'discrepancies' with Council monies.

Stuff like Oh Well and The Green Manalishi had the Green/Spencer/Kirwan three guitar frontline. Then, as you say, Green went awol, and Spencer wasn't far behind (he joined a religious cult).

What a fabulous player he was. I' had that LP on vinyl and my favourite track was 'Elegy' which I attempted to play … no chance ! Brilliant brush work. Replaced Ginger Baker in the legendary ' Graham Bond Organisation' ; that must have taken some doing - replacing Baker ! saw JH with his missus on sax at Lichfield Jazz and Blues Festival about 15 year ago.
