My band du jour is THE PIRATES.
They were Johnny Kidd and the Pirates* (their hit 'Shakin' All Over' is deemed one of if not the best British rock'n'roll songs ever) until Kidd's death in 1966 (car crash I think). They reformed as The Pirates in about '77 and were a great fucking rock'n'roll band. Their guitarist Mick Green was outstanding.

Plus they looked really shit which I rather like.


*CQ: their song 'Please Don't Touch' was a hit for Motorhead/Girlschool in the 80s

This warrants further investigation
Links to available vinyl would help.

I saw Mick Green play a good few years ago.
I'm shocked to see he's dead.

A superb guitarist in my opinion.
