Interesting to read Roly's early inspiration was Spencer Davis. Spencer was a big fan of Barney Kessel. In 1971, whilst in Hollywood, he asked his producer Jay Spenter to ask Barney if he would play on a new recording with him and Peter Jameson The result was the LP release -Spencer-Davis-And-Peter-Jameson-'Its-Been-So-Long'United Artists Records – UAS 29177. Barney was a leading member of Phil Spector's 'Wrecking Crew' and played on many #1 popular hits by the likes of Tina Turner, Sonny and Cher, Tha Righteous Brothers, The Ronettes, the Crystals, The Beach Boy and more.
Some years after Spencer Davis, Steve Winwood appeared at Newcastle City Hall. Great voice, all night long playing piano until nearing the end of the concert, Winwood picked up a guitar (Gibson SG?).Nothing flashy, simply superb guitar playing. There is, of course, something of a connection with Blaydon Jazz Club (this year celebrating its 40th anniversary) in as much as one of Winwood's long-serving band members appeared at the Black Bull in his early teens - local hero Paul Booth.
