Wizz Jones, one of the godfathers of the british folk blues scene, died this week
I'm mates with his son Simeon, a great sax/harp player, who's been posting a lot of cool in memorium pics of a pretty unconventional (and a little fucked-up) upbringing of living out of a kombi following festivals around europe. Saw Wizz and Simeon play together in london quite a few times, always a good gig, though quite a few bus passes amongst his loyal fanbase
Here's an audio file of johnny depp quoting kieth richards about how he and clapton used to go to watch wizz back in the day
