Would I be correct in thinking that he was the much in-demand percussionist chap? Jules |

Not only have I got the wrong end of the stick, but I proceeded to beat around the bush with it.  Long live both Ray Coopers!  Jules |

Bugger - just spent a long drive today listening to the Feelgoods - both Wilko and Mayo
Saw them twice - once with each guitarist - I agree James, he was the only real successor to Wilko.

I only ever saw him in 'the Yardbirds'. Top guitarist.
Nice to see Wilko (or whoever operates his FB account) posted a brief message up there...

Just watching this now on BBC News I was a huge fan in the 70s, and Transformer is still played regularly at chez Bridgwit. He certainly lived a life, but 71 is still young... RIP Lou |

Not always my favourite musician, but always an artist that knew how to push and inspire. A great loss to the wider music family

My least favorite music related news in quite some time.... Will definitely miss being able to believe that the next Lou Reed masterpiece could still be coming. His music (solo and with the VU) influenced me as a person so much.
