I guess you could be there - what a privilege!! I'll modify my text when I have some free time (sadly, not easy to get free time lately). Yes, Spit was/is absolutely great - I think his guitar team with Miller Anderson was fabulous. You'll have noticed that I also have a page about Spit (but under his current, real name of Ian Cruickshank, now devoted to jazz).

He had been a close friend since the 90's when we did recording work together, aiming at getting enough material ready for a tour, Frankfurt Festival and Cambridge where we were to share the same stage as Motorhead. It was lovely to see both old and newish friends of his at the funeral. Quite a few of his musician friends from the past turned up. It was a simple funeral like he wanted with several of us having a few drinks for him afterwards. I will miss him terribly. We used to joke and giggle constantly like teenagers! The stories he told were captivating. I will miss that laugh so much. Glad you are now free from pain my lovely friend.

A lovely, lovely man, and a fine drummer, with great feel and musicality.<br /><br />RIP, Keef.<br /><br />Derek AustinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
