It's probably some sort of sacrilege to say this, but I have just listened to it and I have to say I prefer what Nazareth made of it. And I speak as someone who likes a lot of female singer songwriters and not the greatest fan of Nazareth.

Agree, one of the covers which is better than the original, Hendrix's ' version of All Along the Watchtower and Joe Cocker's With a Little Help From My Friends spring to mind.

Erithacus Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Ouch! That's getting close to home. Arguably the best band to come out of Ireland (you may contend others), one that made the world sit up and take notice in their own way. Fabulous musician and performer, he is going to leave a big hole in the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 I’m not usually too effected when musicians pass on but to see that Wliko has joined the departed is an exception. I know he’d been diagnosed awhile ago with the Big C and it went into remission but very sadly it eventually took him. A sad loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vespa Red Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Wilko is (was) a legend in my eyes just for that guitar riff at the beginning of She Does it Right - I mean he was a brilliant man anyway.

Also saw Dr Feelgood at several London pubs whose names I can’t recall. Amazing nights, amazing band, amazing guitarist. RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Not Wilko. I know he had a second chance but hoped he`d go on for a good few years yet. RIP to one of the best guitarists Britain has ever produced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Some of us of a certain age will remember Brian Harding, more fondly known as Oscar, who has sadly passed away at the grand old age of 82. I remember many a game at Eastville, when he would walk around the greyhound track selling his programmes. He always got a loud cheer when he reached us City fans, with a rousing chant of his name. https://youtu.be/kTQf7L5KG68 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
