19 Apr 02 - 04:54 AM (#693515) Subject: Duffy Power From: Joe in the'pool I've been listening to a great British blues player called Duffy Power, I know he used to be in Pentangle (my brother in law bought me an album for xmas ) but I would love to have any of his lyrics and chords, (especially 'Mary Open the Door!) his vocals, guitar and harmonica playing is, something else. Any assistance would be warmly appreciated.. Many thanks. Joe |

20 Apr 02 - 04:26 AM (#694199) Subject: RE: Duffy Power From: fat B****rd I saw Duffy "Power" along with Dickie "Pride" in the early sixties, he never seemed to be considered with the likes of the Roling Stones etc but I thought he was damn good. I remember "Tired, broke and busted" as his best single.I believe he's still active, I certainly hope so. Ah ! those pre-Beatles Britrockers !! The people who played in those Package Shows often went on to become biiig names. |

Mariner, Duffy appears on the odd album as a guest I think playing the gob iron. I will investigate further!! Mr Red, he appeared in Liverpool (I did not get to see him) which was sold out instantly! he is certainly not hyped! but a grafter for his art? Peace and Love Joe |

British blues album, I only have a crappy recording on tape but I love anyway, it always pops? up in the car..and it always will.. Sue, I've read that somewhere..I will have to go online and discover some truths! The report back I got on his concert in Liverpool was 'he was brilliant'. Joe |
