Dave Walker, A very close friend of mine, I have known Dave since the early 60's when he was in the "Redcaps" he comes from the same town ,Walsall in the West Midlands. He went on to do better things with "Idle Race", " Savoy Brown" and "Fleetwood Mac" He is currently living in Montana USA and visits England quite regularly when he does a few gigs with musician friends.

Dave Walker& John Crutchley---Playing a gig at Walsall August 2000 ,John Crutchley has been in many bands with me ,he is a fine guitarist who in the early days played alongside Robert Plant, when Dave visits England they always get together to do gigs.

The Mavericks---My Band "The Travelers" toured extensively in the 60's with "Steve Brett and the Mavericks" as part of "The Janice Nicholls Roadshow" the two guitarists are Johnny Millington on lead and Dave (Toffee) Holland on bass, Johnny was a great friend of mine who I played with in the Tommy Burton Combo and other various bands through the 1960's unfortunately Johnny passed away a few years ago.

Dave Holland lived around the corner from me in Leamore,Walsall his mom had a sweet shop hence his nickname (toffee), every time I went into his room above the shop he would be playing a different instrument, he always amazed me ,so it was no surprise when he went on to play with such greats as Ronnie Scott and Miles Davies, he still remains a truly world class musician and I am very proud to have been friends with Dave and Johnny.
