Wounded John Scott Cree's 'Rudolph'

Many years ago, in Brighton, there was a guitarist and entertainer who had quite a following - some of you may remember him. His name was Wounded John Scott Cree, and we used to jam together occasionally. John was (and is still) a superb entertainer and, in 1977, persuaded Pye Records to cut his blues version of "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer".

I'm glad to say that John has been able to put this up on YouTube, together with some ancient footage of him being silly, and you can catch it at: Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. Great stuff - enjoy!

John is still out gigging. Look out for him in his aler-ego of Finn Phatt B'stard.

Hi Alan - when's the Charlwood singaround held? It's not a million miles away from me. I was touching base again with John recently, and we still keep in touch from time to time. Wouldn't mind a jam with the old boy again!

Excellent - I can make that date. I'll email John and let him know.

Thanks,
