And not least.... |
A salute to every Pirate for contributing to a legend of British Rock: |
Johnny Kidd for allowing us Brits to hold our
heads up: |
Nick Simper who never stopped believing in
the Kidd: |
The late Alan Caddy, and Mick Green for giving the guitar a new
language: |
Clem
Cattini, who has played on more no. 1's
than any other drummer: |
Brian Gregg,
Johnny Spence & Frank Farley
for power support |
John
Weider,
Mick Stewart, Roger Truth,
Ray Soaper, Vic Cooper,
Jon Morshead,
Johnny Patto and the mysterious
Mike Taylor |
Mike West and the rest of the
Original Pirates |
(from
which Tony
Carlaw
filled in some early gaps) |
...without whom the Beatles
might not have gone quite so far. |
Alan
Wheeler
for his Johnny Kidd Appreciation Society. |
Bernard
Futter
who helped organised the 'current'
Pirates |
...and anyone else I've forgotten. |
