chris_b Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 He's playing bass on my 45 of Rosie by Alexis Korner. Alexis on the jazz cigarettes again!! I never saw Binky but friends said he was a great player. Used to put Vaseline on his left hand to speed up his playing. I guess murdering his Mum, Dad and brother in law curtailed his musical career some what! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) This is informative on the tragedy. http://kilburnwesthampstead.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-tragedy-at-olive-road.html I can recall Andy Fraser saying what a great player and influence Binky was when I interviewed him.

Beer of the Bass Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I remember there was a tune dedicated to him on John Mclaughlin's Extrapolation, and the sleeve notes described him as "unjustly jailed with his brother Bunny". Though given the release date of the album, that must have been referring to the earlier drug possession charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a tragic story 🙁. His sister, singer Candy McKenzie, survived the incident and went on to record with (amongst others) Lee Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
