The Guitar Collection of Guy Mackenzie
The Saints formed in 1963 by Joe Meek as backing band for Heinz. Their version of “Wipe out” was reckoned by many to be better than the Surfaris!
Rick(y) Winter original drummer of the Saints -and a guitar lover (collector?) too!
Guitarist Russ Field pictured just prior to appearing on BBC TV. The paint was still drying as the guitar had been built in 72 hours by Brian Eastwood–a schedule reduced by 2 1/2 weeks due to the oldie “Blue Moon” charting earlier than expected! Evidently the detatchable feet had an uncomfortable “knock on” effect!
Peter Jackson –a great tribute to Eddie Cochran
Dave Hill with the latest great incarnation of his Super Yob guitar. But, Dave, why ever did you swop your original John Birch, and your Framus, Super Yobs’ for a non-reverse Gibson Firebird?
Slade’s Christmas show — “Merry Christmas Everybody”. Pictures courtesy of Rosie Riot.
The Pirates
(Johnny Kidd’s ‘classic’ line-up from c.1962-64) took no prisoners in the 70s and still shakin’ in 2005
Guitar legend … Mick Green (Johnny Kidd, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Van Morrison, Bryan Ferry, Paul McCartney etc.)
