Bloody hell, that is coincidence. I’ve been playing his 'best of ’ cd this evening, not as good as I remember. Saw him with the Steampacket around 66/67, Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll, Long John and an arrogant, obnoxious Rod Stewart - they were very good.

When I saw him down the Eel Pie on Sunday nights he used to sing mainly Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker numbers and he was brilliant. All that pop stuff he sung later was garbage. Saw the Steam Packet in Spain in the Sixties and Rod had changed from the Island days even snubbing his best pal and Brentford Junior footballer Kevin Cronin.
Long John returned to London in the early 2000’s and played at my ex girlfriend’s Eel Pie Club but he wasn’t well and died shortly afterwards.

Dave you should write a memoir of those days - you were living the dream.

I’ll second that. Get a good ghost writer in to make the job easy 
It’s such an important social history. I’ve grown up reading about the swinging sixties but to get a first-hand account from Dave and the other guys on here that were enjoying for real is mental.

I totally agree, his voice was made for the bluesy songs, he gave a terrific version of hoochie coochie man.
