Round the corner….

I just learned that an old guitar hero of mine lives just around the corner from me in London! Ray Majors was the guitarist for Mott, the short lived band formed by ex-Mott The Hoople members Pete Overend Watts. Dale Griffin and Morgan Fisher after Ian Hunter left in early 1975. Together with new singer Nigel Benjamin, the band recorded two fine albums: Drive On (1975) and Shouting & Pointing (1976).
