10th May, 2024.
It’s official: it’s Friday.
And … ?
I have to confess: I’m feeling somewhat saddened.
Back in the day, I worked at a local pub, called the Essex Arms.
One that — even to this day — is noted for live music.
When I worked there?
The place had a lot of very good bands play: including the legendary Wilko Johnson.
And the equally legendary Dumpy’s Rusty Nuts: the only band — during my time there — to cause a stage invasion.
That was an evening!
One of the others? Was Nicky Moore’s Blues Corporation.
Nicky, formerly of Samson? Was one hell of a singer: and had the white blues voice.
I say ‘was’, as I looked him and the band up, last night: after realising I’d not transferred over a couple of his LPs to my new Mac*.
I was devastated to find he’d died of Parkinson’s Disease in August, 2022.
I’m saddened, devastated and lord knows what else: I can only imagine how his family are feeling, even now.
The man was a talent.
