This man is
amongst the earliest of the rockers. His music was a big influence on myself
and and many others. The guitarist that played with Gene on his 1st album was
Cliff Gallop. His solos were learnt note for note buy myself and others like
Jeff Beck and Albert Lee. When Larry Parnes told us that two American Rockers
were coming to England. One of them was Gene Vincent and the Wildcats would
be backing him, I was over the moon. The reason for this was I had learned all
the solos that were on the Vincent albums. I think by this time I had about
three albums by Gene. Unfortunately the only time we backed Gene was on the
Saturday Club recordings we did with both Gene and Eddie. Here are a couple
of tracks from those recordings.
