Went to see MM at the Cricketers, Oval. Listing had got the date wrong. Me, my mate and the DJ were the only ones in there. Fortunately he played some early Al Jarreau, first time I'd heard him. Did get to see MM and AJ another time!

 I saw them over at The Half Moon a couple of times and up Ronnie's as well. Some great players passed through that band.

Likewise. You could always rely on the Half Moon to put on good bands. Remember MM had a great singer . I think he was called Noel but cant remember his surname.

Jim Mullen inspired me to throw away my guitar pick as he used to play with his fingers.

That was Noel McCalla...This live video below, he starts singing at around  03:45.

Sadly, only Noel and drummer, Neil Wilkinson, are still alive.

Is Jim Mullen no longer with us? 

 

Good grief, I've killed him off. He certainly is still alive..!! My apologies to JM.

I'm really not sure what I was thinking...I meant to put Jim's name before Noel's name.

.:D

Speaking of interesting...would you like to hear Seasick Steve on bass and vocals?

Yes, that's really him.
