GUEST,Nick Dow The Irregularity of Peter Bellamy (62* d) RE: The Irregularity of Peter Bellamy 05 Sep 20


Couldn't agree more about Jagger, that said when I interviewed Bill Wyman for the BBC about the early days of the band, there was no argument about the Stones commitment to the Blues and it's root singers. The Stones re-launched Muddy Waters career. (Take a look at the film 'Cadillac Records) Presley ripped off loads of blues players in many respects especially Little Walter, and Arthur Crudup couldn't stand the sight of him. To me he is more of a villain than Jagger.
Back to Bellamy. He was a Ray Charles fan, and we spent some time swapping riffs when he played bottleneck guitar when I lived in Birmingham. I was fairly young and was more than pleased when he asked my advice. We also spent some time watching T.V. with an interesting close harmony soul band which he asked to view.
I will repeat myself. Peter was bursting with talent, and they broke the mould when they made him.
