- Roger Newell, bass guitarist of The Wildcats (pictured with Sally), who toured with Rick Wakeman in the 70′s and famously played the Wal Triple Neck bass – which he could have bought then for £1,000!
-
- Marty Wilde (now in his 55th year in showbusiness!) pictured with my Guyatone LG50 (Star EG 80) which is effectively the same instrument as his first electric guitar, an Antoria bought in about 1958 and used till 1960 when he bought a Fender Strat, which is now on display at the O2 Arena, London.
-
- Roger Newell of The Wildcats pictured with my Single Cutaway Supersound Bass. His verdict? Wait for his report in the online magazine Musicradar!
-
- “Now this is what you do…” Is Roger Newell giving Mike Berry some guitar tuition? Surely not! After all Mike Berry bought his first electric, a Fender strat, over 40 years ago!!!
-
- Mike Berry live on stage with my Guyatone LG50? Oh all right, I admit it, it was during the soundcheck! But who was Guy Mackenzie mistaken for by autograph hunters at the stage door? Why, Mike Berry, of course!
-
- The Wildcats keyboardist Nik Lennard and guitarist Eddie Allen, who is also the Fender Corporation’s European Demonstrator and Product Guru, pictured with Sally.
And finally…special mentions must go to Eden Kane, every bit as good as he was in the early 60’s, also to Roxanne Wilde (younger sister of Kim Wilde and daughter of Marty Wilde) who has the star combination of an amazing voice and a winning smile! And The Wildcats’ Neville Marten (guitarist/guitar journalist/producer) also drummer Neil Robinson (great solo on “Diamonds”!). Marty Wilde’s Rock ‘n’ roll Party? My verdict – Don’t miss it!
